For some crystalline catalysts, what you see on the surface is not always what you get in the bulk, according to two studies led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The investigators discovered that treating a complex
New method to detect spin current in quantum materials unlocks potential for alternative electronics
A new method that precisely measures the mysterious behavior and magnetic properties of electrons flowing across the surface of quantum materials could open a path to next-generation electronics.
The Big Bang began the formation and organization of the matter that makes up ourselves and our world.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have developed a technique for making ultrafast measurements using atomic force microscopy, which previously could only investigate slow or static material structures and functions.
Imagine back nearly 14 billion years. The universe was very small, very hot and very dense.
Niyanth Sridharan grew up in a family that indulged his questions by using real-world examples to explain scientific concepts.
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory team discovered that adding chloride to promising photovoltaic materials enhances their ionic conduction, signaling a step toward developing electrically and optically tunable technologies.
Researchers sometimes need access to expertise and facilities not available at their universities, companies and institutes.
The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), began running at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in 2009. The LHC spends most of its time studying the puzzles of high-energy physics.
Rice University researchers have learned to manipulate two-dimensional materials to design in defects that enhance the materials’ properties.
