Thousands of innovations created by the Department of Energy are more accessible in one place thanks to a new database created by DOE.

Argonne clean-energy projects are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Projects build on Argonne’s leading role in decarbonizing the U.S. economy.

Xiao-Qing Yang, a physicist who leads the Electrochemical Energy Storage group within the Chemistry Division at Brookhaven National Laboratory, has spent a good deal of his professional career studying the intricate details of how batteries work -- and stop working. DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) recently recognized his contributions with a Distinguished Achievement Award.

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal. With the help of these movies, the researchers discovered a new material phase that settles a yearslong scientific debate and could facilitate the design of new transitioning materials with commercial applications.

Testing weapons and components in a lab-controlled environment has always been at the center of Sandia National Laboratories’ mission. A newly developed method is getting better results, with fewer tests, in less time.

Clean hydrogen energy infrastructure is coming to the Pacific Northwest and PNNL experts are advising the work to come.

The reactivity of zirconium on silicon nitride enhances the conversion of propane into propylene, a key commodity chemical needed to make polypropylene. This finding hints at the reactivity researchers might achieve with other nontraditional catalysts.
