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.

A new version of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM, is two times faster than an earlier version released in 2018.

Yellow and turquoise represent changes in electron density between the excited and ground states of a compound composed of oxygen, in red, and vanadium, in blue, which allowed them to evaluate how an oxygen vacancy, in white, can alter the compound’s properties.

Neuromorphic devices — which emulate the decision-making processes of the human brain — show great promise for solving pressing scientific problems, but building physical systems to realize this potential presents researchers with a significant
