Machine learning and autonomous experimentation are poised to revolutionize how scientists grow very thin films on surfaces, important for technologies like microelectronics and quantum computing.
For PNNL’s Jonathan Evarts, Hope Lackey, and Erik Reinhart, this partnership with WSU opened doors and provided opportunities for their scientific careers to flourish.
Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.
New funding spurs a new approach to researching the effective retrieval and processing of legacy radioactive waste. Four-year focus of the IDREAM EFRC will link attosecond timescales to decades-long chemical processes.
Long-duration energy storage gets the spotlight in a new Energy Storage Research Alliance featuring PNNL innovations, like a molecular digital twin and advanced instrumentation.
The next-generation ShAPE machine has arrived at PNNL, where it will help prove the mettle of the ShAPE extrusion technique. ShAPE 2 is designed to allow researchers to produce larger, more complex extrusions.
A new AI model developed at PNNL can identify patterns in electron microscope images of materials without requiring human intervention, allowing for more accurate and consistent materials science.
Thin oxide films play an important role in electronics and energy storage. Researchers in PNNL’s film growth laboratory create, explore, and improve new thin oxide films.
