Ruthenium is recovered from used nuclear fuel in an oxidizing environment by depositing the volatile RuO4 species onto a polymeric substrate.

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

The invention presented here addresses key challenges associated with counterfeit refrigerants by ensuring safety, maintaining system performance, supporting environmental compliance, and mitigating health and legal risks.

Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.

Spherical powders applied to nuclear targetry for isotope production will allow for enhanced heat transfer properties, tailored thermal conductivity and minimize time required for target fabrication and post processing.

Knowing the state of charge of lithium-ion batteries, used to power applications from electric vehicles to medical diagnostic equipment, is critical for long-term battery operation.

Biocompatible nanoparticles have been developed that can trap and retain therapeutic radionuclides and their byproducts at the cancer site. This is important to maximize the therapeutic effect of this treatment and minimize associated side effects.

An innovative low-cost system for in-situ monitoring of strain and temperature during directed energy deposition.

This invention is about a multifunctional structured packing device that can simultaneously facilitate heat and mass transfer in packed distillation, absorption, and liquid extraction columns, as well as in multiphase reactors.

An ORNL team has developed a method for screening for an immunoregulatory protein, which includes assessing the sequence of a candidate protein to determine if it is an immunoregulatory protein when at least one plasminogen-apple-nematode (PAN) domain with a consensus sequence
