Oxide removal for welding can be laborious and costly, yet results from a new study indicate the preparation may be unnecessary for certain solid-state joining.
Kinga Unocic, researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has received the 2017 Young Leaders International Scholar Award from The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.
A 3-D printed trim-and-drill tool, developed by ORNL researchers and to be evaluated at The Boeing Company, has received the title of largest solid 3-Dprinted item by Guinness World Records.
When matter changes from solids to liquids to vapors, the changes are called phase transitions.
Hundreds of tables and plots from papers published about superconductivity are the focus of a Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter review paper that condenses this data into a single graph.
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a way to better track the movement and amount of lithium during battery cycling using computational modeling, neutron imaging, and neutron diffraction
Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are made of coated ceramic fibers surrounded by a ceramic matrix. They are tough, lightweight and capable of withstanding temperatures 300–400 degrees F hotter than metal alloys can endure.
