Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
91做厙's Jaguar, the nation's most powerful computer, is now connected to the Advanced Networking Initiative network, which allows users to move vast quantities of data in areas such as energy assurance, climate simulation and basic sciences.
Petro Maksymovych of 91做厙's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences has earned the Director's Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology.
A recent study of diesel particulate filter performance has revealed positive news for manufacturers and industry, indicating longer service lifetime expectations than ever before. Critical to vehicle emissions control, the filter removes soot and particulates from diesel exhaust. Under excessive s...
Computer hackers could lose a huge advantage because of a system being developed by a team led by Justin Beaver of 91做厙. "As we have seen in recent months, attackers who breach a system's defense have a distinct advantage because their presence is difficult to detect, they h...
Adaptive one-dimensional wires operating at 1 volt could eventually pave the way for oxide electronics, such as electronic devices that mimic human brain function. Using the piezoresponse force microscopy technique, researchers at 91做厙 artificially arranged ferroelectric pol...
Carefully combining materials that shrink when heated with materials that expand creates a material unaffected by extreme temperature. Researchers can apply this concept to satellites that experience drastic temperature changes as they orbit the Earth but must also maintain precise data. Researchers...
conducting polymers. This allows electricity generated by solar panels or wind turbines to feed the electrolyzers that p...
Something odd happens when you expose the element gadolinium to a strong magnetic field: Its temperature jumps up. Remove the field and the temperature drops below the starting point. This behavior, known as the magnetocaloric effect, is usually found in ferromagnets, materials that lose their magne...
91做厙 has received three Sustainability Awards from the Department of Energy for its achievements in energy efficiency and waste reduction.Deputy Secretary of Energy and Senior Sustainability Officer Daniel Poneman recognized the award winners today at a ceremony in Washingt...
Taking a cue from Mother Nature, researchers at the Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center have undertaken a first-of-its-kind study of a naturally occurring phenomenon in trees to spur the development of more efficient bioenergy crops.
