NNSA successfully executed a subcritical experiment in the PULSE facility at the Nevada National Security Site. The experiment was executed in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Scientists have developed microcapacitors with ultrahigh energy and power density, paving the way for on-chip energy storage in electronic devices.

A team of engineers and scientists used Frontier to simulate a system of nearly half a trillion atoms — the largest system ever modeled.

New work at PNNL finds hurricanes are intensifying faster close to the coast—a trend that’s likely to ramp up in a warmer world.

In 2023, the company negotiated a license agreement for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) deacetylation and mechanical refining (DMR) process, a technology seen as important for sidestepping challenges with cellulosic biofuel facilities in the past. DMR uses a “gentle” alkaline bath and a mechanical shredder to prepare corn stover for ethanol fermentation—essential steps for accessing the energy-dense sugars locked inside.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) today announced the selectees of $15 million in awards to show that new Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) technologies will work reliably and cost effectively in the field.

OE today announced a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a $15M funding opportunity for cost-shared research, development, and demonstration projects to facilitate large-scale demonstration of innovative storage technologies that support energy resiliency needs. Three projects will be selected of up to $5 million for each award.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) today announced $70,000 total to three winning clean energy startups and one incubator through the 2024 Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) Prize Collaboration Event.

The device sustained a hot fusion plasma of approximately 50 million degrees Celsius for a record six minutes and twice the density than before.

The 15th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC'24) will feature key talks on the world's first Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
