Research Summaries

Rechargeable batteries based on magnesium, rather than lithium, have the potential to extend electric vehicle range by packing more energy into

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences rastered a highly focused helium-ion beam through a

What if carbon dioxide could be used as a feedstock for valuable chemicals? The molecule would be turned into a hydrocarbon building block. How? By

Smart windows were developed in the 1970s. They are used to reduce building energy consumption by minimizing unwanted solar heating. Typically,

In the 1980s, scientists discovered that copper-oxide compounds exhibit superconductivity at higher temperatures than traditional superconductors,

Strongly correlated electron systems have been studied for over five decades. Scientists predicted that at high temperatures, electrons in

Scientists are developing better models that describe both neutrino and antineutrino data, which can offer insights into the nature of the universe.

Neutral pion production is a major character in a story of mistaken identity worthy of an Agatha Christie novel.

The primary component of the MicroBooNE detector is the TPC—a large, rectangular structure that includes a set of wire planes and readout

Atoms are always shaking. The higher the temperature, the more the atoms shake. In this study, scientists used a specialized instrument made by the
