  • Shannon Ryan, a researcher from the Australian Defence Science and Technology Group, is holding one of the twelve ceramic samples tested at HFIR’s beam line for residual stress tests. The material is confined by a steel ring to apply the correct amount of pressure for testing via HB-2B’s neutron mapping technology, which measures the strain distributed throughout the ceramic sample.

    Army researchers use neutrons to study ceramic material as possible lightweight vehicle armor
  • Scientific research can be vexing and tiring at times, but for Bianca Haberl, the euphoria of discovery is the ultimate reward.
    Bianca Haberl: Finding the joys of science under pressure
  • Sung Kim, Grayson Jackson and Ashish Jayaraman from the Univ. of Minnesota, and Souleymane Omar Diallo former BASIS instrument scientist, load a sample for an experiment on BASIS, SNS beam line 2. The team, led by Mahesh Mahanthappa is studying how nanoconfined water behaves in membranes, which could lead to the development of new ion transporting membranes in fuel cells and other electrochemical devices.

    Nanoconfined Water Dynamics Shape Future Fuel Cells
  • Enhanced knowledge of the bacterial enzyme HpMTAN’s critical functions may enable scientists like Univ. of Toledo’s Don Ronning to influence the development of target-specific drugs for patients with gastrointestinal issues, including stomach cancer.

  • Haslam visits ORNL to highlight state’s role in discovering tennessine
  • ORNL researchers have discovered a new type of quantum critical point, a new way in which materials change from one state of matter to another. Featured here are researchers Lekh Poudel (left), Andrew Christianson and Andrew May. (Image credit: ORNL/Genevieve Martin)
    Neutrons and a ‘bit of gold’ uncover new type of quantum phase transition
  • ORNL's Charles Seipp synthesized a simple compound known as guanidine that was found to bind strongly with carbon dioxide directly from the air and form insoluble carbonate crystals that are easily separated from water.

  • Red arrows represent electron spin orientations in a portion of the YbMgGaO4 crystal structure, where antiferromagnetic interactions between groups of magnetic moments cause neighboring spins to align anti-parallel to one another. This mechanism is partially responsible for the quantum spin liquid behavior observed in the neutron scattering data, illustrated on the hexagonal tiles. (Image credit: ORNL/Jill Hemman)
    Neutrons identify key ingredients of the quantum spin liquid recipe
  • A team at SNS developed a hydrogen-rated gas intensifier that will soon provide a new way to load diamond anvil cells at SNS. From left to right: Reini Boehler, Chris Tulk, Matt Rucker, Mark Loguillo, Mark Overbay, Jamie Mollison, and Doug Armitage. Image credit: Genevieve Martin/ORNL.
