Using supercomputer simulations and a large dataset of materials, scientists found a connection between distortions in the material's atomic structure and the amount of energy required to separate a proton from the material.

Scientists grew tungsten disulfide 2D crystals over donut shapes. With this approach, they created strain that changed the materials' growth dynamics and light emission properties.

Rigoberto 'Gobet' Advincula has been named Governor's Chair of Advanced and Nanostructured Materials at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee.

In the quest for domestic sources of lithium to meet growing demand for battery production, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are advancing a sorbent that can be used to more efficiently recover the material from brine wastes at geothermal power plants.

As a scientist at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Liam Collins advances microscopy techniques to enable researchers to study materials and their properties on a nanometer length scale.

Neutron spectroscopy is an important tool for studying magnetic and thermoelectric properties in materials. But often the resolution, or the ability of the instrument to see fine details, is too coarse to clearly observe features identifying novel phenomena in new advanced materials. To solve this problem, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, developed a new super-resolution software, called SRINS, that makes it easier for scientists to better understand materials' dynamical properties using neutron spectroscopy.

Daniel W. Bardayan is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Notre Dame, formerly a senior research staff member in the Physics Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Tennessee.
