## Corning uses neutrons to reveal how ‘atomic rings’ help  predict glass performance

January 12, 2024

Corning uses neutron scattering to study the stability of different types of glass. Recently, researchers for the company have found that understanding the stability of the rings of atoms in glass materials can help predict the performance of glass products.

## Alexey Serov’s inventions pave the way for green hydrogen fuel cells

December 19, 2023

It would be a challenge for any scientist to match Alexey Serov’s rate of inventions related to green hydrogen fuel. But this researcher at ORNL has 84 patents with at least 35 more under review, so his electrifying pace is unlikely to slow down any time soon.

## Military academy students join effort to send a nuclear thermal rocket to space by 2027

December 8, 2023

Nuclear engineering students from the United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy are working with researchers at ORNL to complete design concepts for a nuclear propulsion rocket to go to space in 2027 as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency DRACO program.

## Owner of US heavy rare earth mine licenses ORNL separation technology

November 28, 2023

## ‘T’ molecules huddle around rare earth elements 

January 26, 2023

Researchers at ORNL zoomed in on molecules designed to recover critical materials via liquid-liquid extraction — a method used by industry to separate chemically similar elements. 

## Designer molecules may help valuable minerals float

January 24, 2023

Critical Materials Institute researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Arizona State University studied the mineral monazite, an important source of rare-earth elements, to enhance methods of recovering critical materials for energy, defense and manufacturing applications.

## Seven scientists named Battelle Distinguished Inventors

December 20, 2022

Seven scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been named Battelle Distinguished Inventors, in recognition of their obtaining 14 or more patents during their careers at the lab.

## Improving materials for energy storage, generation

September 6, 2022

A multi-lab research team led by ORNL's Paul Kent is developing a computer application called QMCPACK to enable precise and reliable predictions of the fundamental properties of materials critical in energy research. 

## Saving e-waste scraps

August 1, 2022

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Momentum Technologies have piloted an industrial-scale process for recycling valuable materials in the millions of tons of e-waste generated annually in the United States.
