In situ inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and IR spectroscopy provide the first direct evidence for the catalytic roles of cerium hydride (Ce-H) and hydroxyl group (OH) groups in acetylene hydrogenation over ceria as a function of the density
Direct experimental evidence of gas-phase methyl radicals in propane oxidative dehydrogenation (ODHP) combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations uncovers the mechanism behind the exceptional selectivity to olefins over BN catalysts
Scientists from ORNL and several Japanese laboratories have developed an experimental method for fast determination of the optimum heavy-ion beam energy for the synthesis of super heavy elements.
For decades, scientists have lacked a first-principles understanding of nuclear beta decay, in which protons convert into neutrons, or vice versa, to form other elements.
Bubbling a flue gas mixture through an aqueous solution of a simple bis-iminoguanidine (GBIG) leads to CO2 capture as a crystalline bicarbonate salt.
On November 26, 2018, researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory received the Joule Award from Barbara Hoffheins of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.
Researchers discovered that a hidden ferromagnetic insulating (FMI) state emerged in Sr2Fe1+xRe1-xO6 films when the material’s local ionic order was disturbed by a small modification in cation ratio.1 This work provides a promising new route to developing
