ORNL researchers have developed a deep learning-based approach to rapidly perform high-quality reconstructions from sparse X-ray computed tomography measurements. 

The present invention is a carbon nanofiber composite for use as the cathode matrix in an alkali-metal polysulfide flow battery. The CNF composite demonstrates an improvement in sulfur utilization compared to carbon paper alone.

Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.

This invention utilizes a custom-synthesized vinyl trifluoromethanesulfonimide (VTFSI) salt and an alcohol containing small molecule or polymer for the synthesis of novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes for the use in Li-ion and beyond Li-ion batteries, fuel cells,

The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.

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.

We have been working to adapt background oriented schlieren (BOS) imaging to directly visualize building leakage, which is fast and easy.

A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.
