One effort toward better batteries for electric vehicles is hitting overdrive, thanks to new findings about silicon anodes.

PNNL researchers can make methane from captured CO2 and renewably sourced hydrogen, offering a path toward cheaper synthetic natural gas.

The built-in tools of ants have been imaged in atomic detail for the first time by materials scientist Arun Devaraj.

A patented process for converting alcohol sourced from renewable or industrial waste gasses into jet or diesel fuel is being scaled up at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

Researchers have increased the lifetime of a promising electric vehicle battery to a record level.

Scientists have created a cybersecurity technology called Shadow Figment that is designed to lure hackers into an artificial world, then stop them from doing damage by feeding them illusory tidbits of success. The aim is to sequester bad actors by captivating them with an attractive--but imaginary--world. The technology is aimed at protecting physical targets--infrastructure such as buildings, the electric grid, water and sewage systems, and pipelines.

The DOE Early Career Research Program supports exceptional researchers during the crucial early years of their careers and helps advance scientific discovery in fundamental sciences.
