A study by researchers at the ORNL takes a fresh look at what could become the first step toward a new generation of solar batteries.
Large-scale numerical calculations reveal fluctuating spin and charge stripes intertwined with pair-density-wave
Researchers at ORNL used polymer chemistry to transform a common household plastic into a reusable adhesive with a rare combination of strength and ductility, making it one of the toughest materials ever reported.
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated the viability of a “quantum entanglement witness” capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are used to find the structure and electronic band gap of 2D GeSe, determining that the gap and its nature are highly tunable by strain.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee are automating the search for new materials to advance solar energy technologies.
Achievement: Devised a novel and accurate computational technique for investigating the self-assembly of large macromolecules, and used this method to reveal the initial stages of self-assembly of the carboxysome, the prototype bacterial
