A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used Frontier to chart the isospin density of a neutron star over a range of conditions. This illustration depicts isospin-dense ...

What we need are people, like you, who are exposed to and motivated by the fundamental ideas of quantum science to pioneer new approaches, new applications and new domains that we haven’t even thought ...

The method fills in crucial gaps by creating dynamic visualizations that allow scientists to observe how domain walls move and better estimate how much energy is required to shift them. It turns a ...

They were present to witness the American Chemical Society awarding a National Historic Chemical Landmark designation to the ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity — by up to 75% — in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. Large-format ...

In an autonomous chemistry laboratory on Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s main campus, a mobile robot shuttles between workstations, most of which have their own robots. Guided by advanced artificial ...

Ever since physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911, studying its structure and behavior has remained a challenging task. More than a century later, even with today’s ...

ORNL’s invention may change plastic’s environmental fate by rearranging polymeric building blocks to customize the properties of plastics. Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can ...

In the good old days of the early ’90s, the internet promised to make the world and its then-five and a half billion people better. By giving us equal access to the world’s information, it was going ...

Throughout the United States, more than 100 million buildings tap into electrical energy to keep heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration units functioning. HVAC systems cause most of ...

Yesterday’s polluting fuel could be transformed into a valuable material for tomorrow’s electric vehicle batteries, thanks to a wide-ranging research project that utilizes expertise spanning the ...
