Serendipitously and for the first time, an international research team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory formed solid binary gold hydride, a compound made exclusively of gold and hydrogen atoms.
Results obtained with SLAC’s X-ray laser show how tiny magnetic coils can align over a surprisingly broad timescale, inspiring new ideas for microelectronics.
Lithium is considered a key ingredient in the future commercial fusion power plants known as tokamaks, and there are several ways to use this metal to enhance the process. But a key question remained: How much does it impact the amount of fuel trapped in the walls of tokamaks?
Gold's stability has been found to be 14 times its melting point, challenging thermodynamic principles, offering insights into extreme material behavior under ultrafast heating.
Heavy fermion materials are heavy because their electrons are entangled and slowed down by magnetic ions. These interactions among electrons are associated with superconductivity. Until now, all known heavy fermions had a 3D crystal structure, but researchers made these materials in 2D form.
For many years, researchers believed that superconductors could only exist at very low temperatures, a few degrees above absolute zero (-273 °C). Then, in 1986, researchers discovered that some materials become superconductors at a much higher temperature. These materials contain copper and oxygen and are called cuprates.
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and JuggerBot 3D, an industrial 3D printer equipment manufacturer, have launched their second research and development collaboration through the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility Technical Collaboration Program.
Scientists use resin-filled columns to recover the isotope americium-241 (Am-241) from plutonium waste for commercial use. During this extraction process, the resin is exposed to harsh conditions including high radiation and strong acids.
A team of scientists has unraveled how light and a previously unknown form of certain nickel-based catalysts together unlock and preserve reactivity. This research could potentially advance the use of abundant nickel in place of more expensive palladium in industrial chemistry.
United Rare Earths has licensed two innovative technologies from Oak Ridge National Laboratory aimed at reducing dependence on critical rare earth elements.
