A discovery that uncovered the surprising way atoms arrange themselves and find their preferred neighbors in multi-principal element alloys (MPEA) could enable engineers to “tune” these unique and useful materials for enhanced performance in specific applications ranging from advanced power plants to aerospace technologies, according to the researchers who made the finding.
Efficient technology for splitting the hydrogen-oxygen bond in water could be the key to producing low-cost, green hydrogen for energy storage at an industrial scale. Green hydrogen is expected to play a significant role in achieving the target of net zero carbon dioxide emissions. In a new study, an interdisciplinary group of researchers have identified a way to use “defect engineering” to significantly boost catalytic efficiency, taking science one step closer to sustainable, green hydrogen production.
Supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, scientists at three research institutions capture the pulsing motion of atoms in diamond, uncovering the relationship between the diamond’s strain and the behavior of the quantum information hosted within.
Over the next three years, European researchers aim to construct passive ventilation systems not from concrete or steel, but from a wood-based foam.
The project aims to develop strategies to enhance the thermal stability of metal chalcogenide materials.
Esther Sans Takeuchi, a materials scientist and chemical engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, was honored by the Journal of Physical Chemistry C in a special Festschrift issue earlier this year.
A research team led by Iowa State's Qi An has developed artificial intelligence technology that could find ways to improve researchers’ understanding of the chemical reactions involved in ammonia production and other complex chemical reactions.
Argonne team developed a new microscopy technique that uses electrical pulses to track the nanosecond dynamics within a material that is known to form charge density waves. Controlling these waves may lead to faster and more energy-efficient electronics.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory researchers are using the latest in artificial intelligence (AI) technology to revolutionize the maintenance of America’s electric grid, predicting failures before they occur. By leveraging advanced AI-enabled software, they provide energy companies with tools to enhance grid reliability and efficiency, potentially reducing maintenance costs by up to 56% and increasing profits by 3 to 4%. This innovative approach not only supports the integration of renewable energy but also extends the lifespan of existing infrastructure, ensuring a resilient energy supply for the future.
Membrane filtering of fluids is central to industries that include everything from biotechnology to petrochemicals to water treatment to food and beverage. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne scientists have discovered new behavior of membranes that could lead to separations through pores consistently about ten billionths of a meter.
The first generation of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles has been a remarkable success story. Yet, the question arises: What changes to battery materials will spur further advances? U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory scientists have discovered the culprit behind the performance fade in a nickel-rich cathode composition capable of much higher energy storage, leading to longer driving range.
A star material for hosting quantum information, diamond nevertheless presents a challenge: Signals from the bits of quantum information embedded in diamond are often messy and inconsistent. In work supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, which is led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, a Stanford University group has uncovered the source its apparently temperamental nature. Zooming in on diamond’s atomic-level makeup, they demonstrated that the diamond’s variegated interior largely explained the erratic signals from quantum bits embedded within.
Argonne scientists designed a way to optimize discovery of nuclear material coatings and identified a promising new candidate along the way.
Scientists will work either solo or in teams on projects related to inflammation and the functions of the immune system.
The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility’s AI Testbed is a growing collection of some of the world’s most advanced AI accelerators available for open science.
What do a particle collider and a human have in common? Not much. But both have parts that need to be kept within a certain temperature range to function properly. It's a phenomenon mechanical engineer Thea Vijaya Kumar knows well. She designs systems to keep people and machines cool -- a cool job in every sense of the word.
A new 3D printing method developed by UC San Diego engineers is so simple that it uses a polymer ink and salt water solution to create solid structures. The work has the potential to make materials manufacturing more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Scientists have made significant strides in understanding the properties of a ferroelectric material under an electric field. This breakthrough holds potential for advances in computer memory, lasers and sensors for ultraprecise measurements.
Siemens Healthineers has pushed the boundaries of medical engineering to improve patient care for more than 125 years. At the ADLM 2024 Clinical Lab Expo (from July 30-Aug. 1 at McCormick Place, Chicago, Booth #501), Siemens Healthineers will demonstrate what’s achievable for laboratory testing with human-centered engineering and automation.
