Researchers at ORNL zoomed in on molecules designed to recover critical materials via liquid-liquid extraction — a method used by industry to separate chemically similar elements.
Critical Materials Institute researchers at 91°µÍø and Arizona State University studied the mineral monazite, an important source of rare-earth elements, to enhance methods of recovering critical materials for energy, defense
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have developed ground-breaking techniques for formulating, manufacturing and recycling the lithium-ion batteries used in hundreds of products, including electric vehicles.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have created a recipe for a renewable 3D printing feedstock that could spur a profitable new use for an intractable biorefinery byproduct: lignin.
Sheng Dai, the most prolific author ever at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, had no intention of pursuing a career in science as a young man; he wanted to paint instead.
By studying the inner workings of lithium-ion batteries, 91°µÍø researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique to characterize and measure at the electrolyte and electrode interface.
Four researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have received six R&D 100 Awards in recognition of their significant advancements in science and technology.
Carbon fiber composites—lightweight and strong—are great structural materials for automobiles, aircraft and other transportation vehicles. They consist of a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, into which reinforcing carbon fibers have been embedded.
Three researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).
