ORNL, Washington State researchers craft recipe for tunable shape-memory polymer.
Berkeley Lab study shows properly managed damage can boost material thermoelectric performances.
A new, environmentally-friendly paper that glows could lead to sustainable, roll-up electronics.
Discovery sheds new light on 175-year-old principle
Work at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source will receive $2.4M over 5 years.
Quantum computers are in theory capable of simulating the interactions of molecules at a level of detail far beyond the capabilities of even the largest supercomputers today. Such simulations could revolutionize chemistry, biology and materials science, but the development of quantum computers has been limited by the ability to increase the number of quantum bits, or qubits, that encode, store and access large amounts of data.
Berkeley researchers develop breakthrough technique for non-invasive nano-scale imaging.
One of the barriers to using graphene at a commercial scale could be overcome using a method demonstrated by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Since lasers were invented in 1960, they have penetrated countless scientific, industrial and recreational fields: from eye surgery to DVD players, from cutting steel to triggering ignition in missile stages.
New technique developed at Brookhaven Lab makes self-assembly 1,000 times faster and could be used for industrial-scale solar panels and electronics.
Two experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, have combined their results and observed a previously unseen subatomic process.
