ORNL discovery holds potential for separations, sensors, batteries, biotech, and more

It is becoming possible to image complex systems in 3-D with near-atomic resolution on ultrafast timescales using extremely intense X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses.

As proof-of-principle, the TSRI team makes dozens of new chemical entities.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used advanced microscopy to carve out nanoscale designs on the surface of a new class of ionic polymer materials for the first time. The study provides new evidence that atomic force microscopy, or AFM, could be used to precisely fabricate materials needed for increasingly smaller devices.

Researchers in Tokyo use Japan's most powerful computer to explore the role of Ostwald ripening in the formation of bubbles -- as important in engineering as they are in celebratory toasts

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second-largest body of ice on Earth. It covers an area about five times the size of New York State and Kansas combined, and if it melts completely, oceans could rise by 20 feet. Coastal communities from Florida to Bangladesh would suffer extensive damage.

Ever wondered how Santa gets around the whole world in one night? Why no one sees him delivering presents? How he fits down the chimney? Or how Rudolph's nose came to glow?

This ACS Bytesize video describes how the unique and distinctive snowflake forms 

Even from space, holidays shine bright.

As the festive season approaches, we look at some of the physical challenges faced by Santa as he distributes presents across the globe.

In the same way as we now connect computers in networks through optical signals, it could also be possible to connect future quantum computers in a ‘quantum internet’.
