We tested 48 diverse homologs of SfaB and identified several enzyme variants that were more active than SfaB at synthesizing the nylon-6,6 monomer.

We have developed thermophilic bacterial strains that can break down PET and consume ethylene glycol and TPA. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.

By engineering the Serine Integrase Assisted Genome Engineering (SAGE) genetic toolkit in an industrial strain of Aspergillus niger, we have established its proof of principle for applicability in Eukaryotes.

US coastal and island communities have vulnerable energy infrastructure and high energy costs, which are exacerbated by climate change.

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.

A pressure burst feature has been designed and demonstrated for relieving potentially hazardous excess pressure within irradiation capsules used in the ORNL High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR).

This manufacturing method uses multifunctional materials distributed volumetrically to generate a stiffness-based architecture, where continuous surfaces can be created from flat, rapidly produced geometries.

This invention aims to develop a new feature for a heat pump water heater having a forced flow condenser, coupled with a mixing valve, and a new feature to maximize the first hour rating and provide quick response to hot water demand, comparable to a typical gas water heater.&
