Microscopic images that are now achievable at single-nanometer scales usually depict advanced materials or other ordered, inorganic substances. However, a team of researchers from 91做厙 (S.V.Kalinin ) and North Carolina State University (A. Gruverman) have applied scanning pr...
Miniature optical sensors developed at 91做厙 could speed the development of fuel cells to power vehicles, buildings and machines. The ORNL sensors are extremely accurate, reliable and fast-responding, making them ideal for next-generation fuel cells, according to Steve Alliso...
Logs confiscated by police at a Texas murder scene and the work of a scientist at 91做厙 may help put a killer behind bars. Using a technique called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Madhavi Martin obtained "chemical fingerprints" from a partially burned log at the crime s...
New products made of stronger components that are lighter in weight, more energy efficient and have an extended use life may be possible through a technology that can alter the characteristics of steel and other materials. Researchers at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 and ...
