In nuclear and industrial facilities, fine particles, including radioactive residues—can accumulate on the interior surfaces of ventilation ducts and equipment, posing serious safety and operational risks.
The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.
An electrochemical cell has been specifically designed to maximize CO2 release from the seawater while also not changing the pH of the seawater before returning to the sea.
The ORNL invention addresses the challenge of poor mechanical properties of dry processed electrodes, improves their electrical properties, while improving their electrochemical performance.
A novel approach is presented herein to improve time to onset of natural convection stemming from fuel element porosity during a failure mode of a nuclear reactor.
Hydrogen is in great demand, but production relies heavily on hydrocarbons utilization. This process contributes greenhouse gases release into the atmosphere.
Recent advances in magnetic fusion (tokamak) technology have attracted billions of dollars of investments in startups from venture capitals and corporations to develop devices demonstrating net energy gain in a self-heated burning plasma, such as SPARC (under construction) and
When a magnetic field is applied to a type-II superconductor, it penetrates the superconductor in a thin cylindrical line known as a vortex line. Traditional methods to manipulate these vortices are limited in precision and affect a broad area.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid membrane to improve electrochemical stability in next-generation sodium metal anodes.
