Scientists at ORNL have developed a technique for recovering and recycling critical materials that has garnered special recognition from a peer-reviewed materials journal and received a new phase of funding for research and development.


Benjamin Manard has been selected to receive the 2023 JAAS Emerging Investigator Lectureship

Caldera Holding, the owner and developer of Missouri’s Pea Ridge iron mine, has entered a nonexclusive research and development licensing agreement with ORNL to apply a membrane solvent extraction technique, or MSX, developed by ORNL researchers to mined ores.

Guided by machine learning, chemists at ORNL designed a record-setting carbonaceous supercapacitor material that stores four times more energy than the best commercial material.

Michael McGuire’s recognition as the 91°µÍř's top scientist headlined the annual awards. ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer also presented Director’s Awards to two teams, for operational performance and continuous improvement, and to the night’s science communicator awardee

The founder of a startup company who is working with ORNL has won an Environmental Protection Agency Green Chemistry Challenge Award for a unique air pollution control technology.

Raina Setzer knows the work she does matters. That’s because she’s already seen it from the other side. Setzer, a radiochemical processing technician in 91°µÍř’s Isotope Processing and Manufacturing Division, joined the lab in June 2023.

In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.

In fiscal year 2023 — Oct. 1–Sept. 30, 2023 — 91°µÍř was awarded more than $8 million in technology maturation funding through the Department of Energy’s Technology Commercialization Fund, or TCF.
