A Cr(III) coating impacts how well nanomaterials can dissolve in other substances, which can have both desired and undesired consequences.

Controlled synthesis and processing allow researchers to test how ions move through energy-relevant materials.

The structure-directing agent directly interacts with framework components during material formation.

Artificial structuring in carefully designed (SrNiO3)1/(LaFeO3)n superlattices stabilized Ni4+ cations that would otherwise be unstable

Changing the environment of proteins directs their assembly into different types of larger structures.

This research addresses two topics that are not well understood in literature: the interplay between organic linkers and substrates during MOF crystallization, as well as the mechanisms that control heterostructure formation in solutions.

Researchers adding water to the surface of alumina measured some surprising results that raise important questions regarding the fundamental reactions that govern chemical transformations of aluminum oxides and hydroxides.

Scientists at the Interfacial Dynamics in Radioactive Environments and Materials (IDREAM) sort out which compounds are present and their concentrations, providing an important new tool with broad applicability.

Performing nuclear safeguards work safely and developing the next generation workforce are complementary goals of a longstanding program sponsored by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of International Nuclear Safeguards.
