New Framework Finds Unexpected Order Inside Amorphous Materials
6+ hour, 35+ min ago (327+ words) Scientific discovery often begins with identifying patterns to help navigate an otherwise complicated world. For decades, physicists have relied on the precise, repeating atomic structures within crystals to map how electrons move and to calculate their quantum energy states. However,…...
News Release: Bill Tumas Named NLR Deputy Laboratory Director of Science and Technology
1+ day, 8+ hour ago (417+ words) nlr.gov - News Release: Bill Tumas Named NLR Deputy Laboratory Director of Science and Technology The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) recently made a key selection to a laboratory leadership position, naming Bill Tumas as…...
Going Chiral: How Chiral Copper Selectively Catalyzes Production of Valuable Carbon Products
1+ mon, 4+ day ago (388+ words) Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) found in air and in geological resources is a promising, economically viable way to generate useful molecules such as carbon monoxide, formate, formic acid, and methanol. Those molecules can then be used directly or as…...
Energy Discovery Awaits Within the Spin of Atoms
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (1609+ words) When researchers bring their inventions into the laboratory of Bennett Addison, he often has one question for them: “Did you really make what you think you made?” “There’s almost definitely a way that NMR is useful in your field. You…...
Entropy Facilitates Charge Separation, Even in One-Dimensional Semiconductors
2+ mon, 1+ week ago (213+ words) Now, scientists at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR)—joined by researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of California, Davis, and the University of California, Los Angeles—have found that entropy can indeed play a significant…...
Scientists Shine Light on Materials That Remember - National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) (.gov)
3+ mon, 2+ week ago (389+ words) Like so much else in nature, the human visual system has both a complex structure and functional efficiency that is difficult for scientists to replicate. The system is both a sensor and a processor, with the eyes and the brain…...
Scientists Discover Way To Leverage High-Energy Sunlight for Fuel Production
3+ mon, 4+ week ago (251+ words) Plants and algae make their fuel from sunlight. Perhaps we could do the same using semiconductors. A team of scientists at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) made strides in that direction. They discovered a silicon semiconductor coupled to…...

4+ mon, 3+ week ago (476+ words) The use of artificial intelligence has enabled researchers at the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) to gain a greater understanding of two-dimensional (2D) materials that can be useful for energy storage, water purification, and advanced electronics. By closing the knowledge…...
Why Use Living Cells? NLR Is Making Chemicals With Enzymes Alone - National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR) (.gov)
5+ mon, 1+ week ago (1430+ words) Today’s nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms to convert plant biomass sugars into alcohols, other biofuels, or chemicals. Chemical technologies, the second…...
