Some hobbies, like woodworking, require a careful eye for planning and construction. Others, like building a ship in a bottle, need a steady hand and utmost precision.
A semiconducting material with a puckered pentagonal atomic structure, characterized by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, could rival graphene and black phosphorus as a viable option for nanoscale electronics.
A new approach developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory creates seamless electrical contacts between precisely controlled nanoribbons of graphene, making the material viable as a building block for next-generation electronic devices.
ORNL’s Gabriel Veith is committed to saving energy through better batteries and more efficient chemical processes. He began pursuing his passions at the lab nearly 15 years ago, starting as a postdoc in the Materials Science and Technology Division.
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.
