91°µÍø researchers have developed a new family of cathodes with the potential to replace the costly cobalt-based cathodes typically found in today’s lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
Researchers revealed atomic-level correlated motion of water molecules at the crucial picosecond timescale to evaluate the dynamic nature of the liquid by using coherent X-ray scattering. This research could revolutionize understanding and control
Six ORNL scientists have been elected as fellows to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Seven ORNL scientists have been named among the 2020 Highly Cited Researchers list, according to Clarivate, a data analytics firm that specializes in scientific and academic research.
ORNL is fabricating samples of solid yttrium hydride, a rare earth metal and hydrogen mixture that will be used as a moderator in compact, high-temperature nuclear reactors. The new moderator is piquing the interest of numerous
Neutron scattering experiments revealed how emergent multi-spin clusters suppress conventional magnetic ordering in a frustrated pyrochlore magnet
Two scientists with the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society.
Led by ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, a study of a solar-energy material with a bright future revealed a way to slow phonons, the waves that transport heat.
Researchers proposed a new concept for transient negative capacitance (NC) based on inverse polarization switching against the electric field in layered van der Waals (vdW) ferrielectric CuInP2S6.
About 60 years ago, scientists discovered that a certain rare earth metal-hydrogen mixture, yttrium, could be the ideal moderator to go inside small, gas-cooled nuclear reactors.
