From composition to performance, two recent studies show how additively manufactured steels measure up to their conventionally produced counterparts.
What do magnets, smartphones and medical imaging devices have in common? They all depend on rare earth elements called lanthanides, which are vital for modern technology.
Oxford Instruments’ Raman imaging team announces a refreshed core microscope line and a groundbreaking new spectrometer: Hexalight.
Inside the microchips powering your devices, the atoms have a hidden order all their own. Scientists have confirmed that elements in semiconductors have preferred arrangements that impact the material's properties, opening the door for new fabrication methods and unique technologies.
Over the next decade, aluminum auto body scrap will flood salvage systems, much of it too impure for reuse in critical parts. ORNL researchers developed RidgeAlloy, a new aluminum alloy that turns low-value scrap into a reliable, high-value domestic supply for structural automotive manufacturing.
Ice crystals are surprisingly tolerant of defects in their structure. The findings come from the first-ever molecular-resolution observations of nanoscale samples of ice frozen from liquid water.
Scientists have developed an efficient technique to create customized high-entropy alloys - exceptionally strong, resilient metals with wide-ranging potential. This advance could speed their use in aerospace, geothermal and nuclear energy, and next-generation catalysts, bringing futuristic materials closer to real-world applications.
As the volume of scientific literature continues to grow, researchers are turning to artificial intelligence to sift through millions of research papers and uncover insights that can accelerate the discovery of new materials.
Plutonium has captured the attention of scientists since its discovery in the early 1940s. This enigmatic element has an important role to play in emerging energy technologies like nuclear batteries and reactors, but it also has complicated electronic behavior that causes some intriguing effects.
In a collaboration that demonstrates the power of innovation and teamwork, physicists and engineers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory created a mobile muon detector that is projected to improve spent nuclear fuel monitoring and tackle a critical challenge for quantum computing.
