ORNL Scientists Tap into AI to Put a New Spin on Neutron Experiments

Scientists seek to use quantum materials—those that have correlated order at the subatomic level—for electronic devices, quantum computers, and superconductors. Quantum materials owe many of their properties to the physics that is occurring on the smallest scales, physics that is fully quantum mechanical. Some materials, such as complex magnetic materials,…

Supercomputers to Help Supercharge Ceramic Matrix Composite Manufacturing

https://vimeo.com/322833801 During chemical vapor infiltration, gaseous vapor reacts on the surface of the preform fibers at elevated temperatures to coat the material. If applied long enough, the gas will eventually fill all the air pockets of the preform to make a solid component. New tools to model and simulate these…

Transforming Gas into Fuels with Better Alloys

Technological advances in oil and gas well stimulation over the past decade now allow for the production of natural gas from shale gas trapped in rock formations underground. With the sudden increase in the availability of shale gas, scientists have regained interest in carbon–hydrogen (C–H) activation, the process of breaking…
