Scientists at ORNL used neutron scattering to determine whether a specific material’s atomic structure could host a novel state of matter called a spiral spin liquid.
Six ORNL scientists have been elected as fellows to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at Oak Ridge National Laboratory hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory is now producing actinium-227 (Ac-227) to meet projected demand for a highly effective cancer drug through a 10-year contract between the U.S. DOE Isotope Program and Bayer.
Nearly 100 commercial nuclear reactors supply one-fifth of America’s energy.
Moving rods of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) to interim storage or a geologic repository requires road or rail travel.
