Complex, scalable arrays of semiconductor heterojunctions—promising building blocks for future electronics.
Semiconductors, metals and insulators must be integrated to make the transistors that are the electronic building blocks of your smartphone, computer and other microchip-enabled devices. Today’s transistors are miniscule—a mere 10 nanometers wide—and forme...
Small businesses can gain access to ORNL resources such as the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility through a new Department of Energy voucher pilot.

Small companies in the advanced manufacturing, transportation and building sectors have a new opportunity to partner with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. ORNL was among five national laboratories selected to participate in a ne...
