OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 2, 2018—The search for a more energy efficient and environmentally friendly method of ammonia production for fertilizer has led to the discovery of a new type of catalytic reaction.
A numerical weather forecasting model (WRF) was used to simulate 120 storms over the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa (ACT) river basin to explore the effect of climate change on probable maximum precipitation (PMP).
Efforts to bring ORNL’s wireless sensor platform to market are on target and proceeding as planned.
Achievement: Designed a polymer for selective and reversible carbon dioxide (CO2) capture.
Significance and Impact: The new polymer that is based on amidines can provide a more efficient alternative to conventional polyethyleneimine (PEI) based solid-sorb
A molecule, called a nucleoside analog and which is composed of an Adenine moeity and glycol group, was deposited on top of the Au(111) surface and studied with scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory calculations.
In this work unique twisted bilayers of MoSe2 with periodic multiple stacking configurations and interlayer couplings were discovered in the narrow range of twist angles, 60± 3°, using ulra-low frequency Raman spectroscopy and first-principle theory.
