Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
Just a few months after the Spallation Neutron Source announced a new world's record for beam power, its sister neutron facility at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory the High Flux Isotope Reactor can boast a record of its own. HFIR's new cold source is producing more cold neutrons than expected a...
A water repellent developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory outperforms nature at its best and could open a floodgate of commercial possibilities. The super-water repellent (superhydrophobic) material, developed by John Simpson, is easy to fabricate an...
