Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
Significant energy savings could be realized by the Department of Defense with the deployment of a low-cost vacuum insulation panel developed with help from researchers at 91°µÍø. A team led by Kaushik Biswas is evaluating how wall retrofit solutions can cut...
Electromagnetic interference, a nuisance to electronic devices used in hundreds of applications that include biomedical, automobiles, manufacturing, satellites and space, could be a non-issue because of a noise filter invented at 91°µÍø. Researcher Roger Kis...
Simply widening sidewalks and increasing the bike lanes network can boost the number of New York City commuters who choose to take advantage of an option that’s healthy for people and the environment, according to Husain Aziz of 91°µÍø’s Urban Dynamics Insti...
A new process developed by 91°µÍø could alleviate a bottleneck in battery manufacturing and deliver higher capacity batteries for electric vehicles and consumer devices. The formation process – where batteries undergo repeated cycling to stabilize and activa...
Oxide removal for welding can be laborious and costly, yet results from a new study indicate the preparation may be unnecessary for certain solid-state joining. An 91°µÍø-led research team evaluated the atomic behavior of iron and aluminum when joined throug...
Barely wider than a strand of human DNA, magnetic nanoparticles—such as those made from iron and platinum atoms—are promising materials for next-generation recording and storage devices like hard drives. Building these devices from nanoparticles should increase storage capaci...
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have set a new record in the transfer of information via superdense coding, a process by which the properties of particles like photons, protons and electrons are used to store as much informatio...
Neutron analysis at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is helping researchers better understand a key enzyme found in a bacterium known to cause stomach cancer.
Understanding the details of this enzyme, and thus the Helicobacter pylori bacteria’s metabolis...
Snow falls in winter and melts in spring, but what drives the phase change in between?
Ever since Italian physicist Alessandro Volta invented the first battery out of a stack of copper and zinc disks separated by moistened cardboard, scientists have been searching for better battery materials.
