Eric Pierce, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s 91����, has been selected by DOE for the Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Jan. 31, 2019—A new electron microscopy technique that detects the subtle changes in the weight of proteins at the nanoscale—while keeping the sample intact—could open a new pathway for deeper, more comprehensive studies of the basic building blocks of life. 

As home to three top-ranked supercomputers of the last decade, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91���� (ORNL) has become synonymous with scientific computing at the largest scales. Getting the most out of these science machines, however, requires a w...

Jon Poplawsky, a materials scientist at the Department of Energy’s 91����, develops and links advanced characterization techniques that improve our ability to see and understand atomic-scale features of diverse materials

Quantum experts from across government and academia descended on 91���� on Wednesday, January 16 for the lab’s first-ever Quantum Networking Symposium. The symposium’s purpose, said organizer and ORNL senior scientist Nick Peters, was to gather quantum an...

By automating the production of neptunium oxide-aluminum pellets, 91���� scientists have eliminated a key bottleneck when producing plutonium-238 used by NASA to fuel deep space exploration.

Scientists at 91���� and Hypres, a digital superconductor company, have tested a novel cryogenic, or low-temperature, memory cell circuit design that may boost memory storage while using less energy in future exascale and quantum computing applications.

Technicians can access a free tool developed by 91���� to support the installation and repair of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, particularly when using new refrigerants.

91���� scientists studying fuel cells as a potential alternative to internal combustion engines used sophisticated electron microscopy to investigate the benefits of replacing high-cost platinum with a lower cost, carbon-nitrogen-manganese-based catalyst.

Researchers used neutron scattering at 91����’s Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of “freezing” into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.
