More than 265 minority serving institutions (MSI) faculty and students, DOE personnel and Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) employees recently gathered for the EM Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (EM MSIPP) Achievement Workshop.

EM funding supports Energy I-Corps, a key initiative of DOE's Office of Technology Transitions (OTT). The program sends teams of researchers and industry mentors through an immersive two-month training where the researchers define technology value.

EM has marked a major achievement in the effort to expand interim storage of canisters of vitrified high-level waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS) while saving taxpayer dollars.

In just a few years, an intern has taken his interest in computer science to the next level in the EM program supporting contractors at DOE's Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Site with virtual reality and other technologies.

EM Richland Operations Office and contractor Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) have introduced their newest team members, Dee and Freda, two highly skilled explosive-detecting K-9 officers.

One of two new raw water pumps EM workers recently installed at the Paducah Site’s water treatment facility has reduced energy consumption for pumping water by approximately 63% and lowered water usage by about 1 million gallons per day.

It’s been said that during an emergency, you always fall back on your training.

A team reports that it is possible to imbue the bulk, 3D material found in pencils - graphite - with physical properties similar to 2D graphene.

A Yale-led team of physicists has discovered a circular pattern in the movement of electrons in a group of quantum materials known as “strange metals.
