Artist’s rendering of electron spins frustrated as the sample of magnetic material is pressurized into a spin liquid state. Credit: Daniel Haskel Using two flat-top…
This transmission electron microscope image shows SARS-CoV-2 – the virus that causes COVID-19 – isolated from a patient in the U.S. The protrusions visible on…
Using ORNL’s Summit supercomputer, scientists can comb through millions of medical journal articles looking for possible connections among FDA-approved drug therapies and known COVID-19 symptoms.…
These balloon-and-disc shapes represent an electron orbital — a fuzzy electron cloud around an atom’s nucleus — in two different orientations. Scientists hope to someday…
Illustration of plasmon waves created by an ultrafast laser coupled to an atomic force microscopy tip. The plasmon waves are shown as concentric red and…
MIT chemical engineers have designed a sensor that can be embedded into plant leaves and measure hydrogen peroxide levels, which indicate that damage has occurred.…
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows a gravitational lens (center) that was first identified as a lens candidate with the assistance of a neural network…
In this illustration, two sheets of graphene are stacked together at a slightly offset “magic” angle, which can become either an insulator or superconductor. “We…
ORNL researchers in late February demonstrated a 20-kilowatt, bi-directional wireless charging system on a medium-class hybrid electric UPS delivery truck. Credit: Brittany Cramer/Oak Ridge National…
Creating and controlling on Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars is a key goal of scientists around the world. Production of…
Silicon microspheres have extraordinary mechanical strength due to the addition of carbon nanotubes which make the spheres resemble balls of yarn. In this representation, the…
Scientists who study topological materials face a challenge — how to establish and maintain control of these unique quantum behaviors in a way that makes…
Turning a brittle oxide into a flexible membrane and stretching it on a tiny apparatus flipped it from a conducting to an insulating state and…

The team of scientists worked together with Eli Stavitski (left) and Yonghua Du (right) to “see” the lighter elements in their catalyst at the Tender…
Researchers are using Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, a massive kilometer-long accelerator, to analyze proteins that could lead to coronavirus treatments or vaccines. Credit: Argonne National…
Lawrence Livermore researchers compared results of asteroid deflection simulations to experimental data and found that the strength model has a substantial effect on momentum transferred.…
What goes in is not what comes out with a spatio-temporally modulated metasurface reflector. Credit: Los Alamos National Laboratory Electronically controlled 2-D reflector promises improved…
This compound graphic shows a view of the sky in ultra-high energy gamma rays. The arrows indicate the four sources of gamma rays with energies…
