We report the first observation of an enhanced electromechanical response in BaTiO3 thin films driven via local oxygen vacancy migration in piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM).
Structure-mediated adsorption and interfacial ordering is key to designing ligands for extractions with enhanced selectivity and efficiency.
Manipulation of matter at the nanoscale in functional nanostructures allows to harness nanoscale and even quantum phenomena, with applications in electronics, plasmonics, optoelectronics, and sensing.
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.
