Nanofibers yield stronger, tougher carbon fiber composites
Researchers led by the University of Melbourne, Australia, have been nominated for the Association for Computing Machineryâs 2024 Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing for conducting a quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size and speed than any previous simulation of its kind.
A team of researchers associated with the Quantum Science Center headquartered at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has confirmed the presence of quantum spin liquid behavior in a new material with a triangular lattice, KYbSe2.
Scientists at ORNL used neutron scattering to determine whether a specific materialâs atomic structure could host a novel state of matter called a spiral spin liquid.
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated the viability of a âquantum entanglement witnessâ capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.
A UCLA-led team that discovered the first intrinsic ferromagnetic topological insulator â a quantum material that could revolutionize next-generation electronics â used neutrons at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to help verify their finding.
From materials science and earth system modeling to quantum information science and cybersecurity, experts in many fields run simulations and conduct experiments to collect the abundance of data necessary for scientific progress.
Researchers used neutron scattering at Oak Ridge National Laboratoryâs Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of âfreezingâ into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.
