关于我们
Scientists and users working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Spallation Neuron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor answer fundamental questions about how materials behave at the atomic scale. These answers spur innovations that improve our daily lives, such as drugs that more effectively treat diseases, more reliable aircraft engines, cars with better gas mileage, improved armor for the military, and batteries that are safer, charge faster, and last longer. These two facilities are funded by the US Department of Energy’s Office of Science and Office of Basic Energy Sciences. In partnership with the University of Tennessee, Neutron Sciences also operates the Shull Wollan Center—a joint institute to promote excellence in advancing the application of neutrons to the forefront of science and industry through dedication to the training and education of future researchers.

We love to shine a spotlight on our brilliant staff, which could include YOU. ???? If you've ever wondered what it's like to work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, take it from one of our own, Neutron Optics and Polarization Scientist Jon Leiner: "I enjoy being immersed within the expertise and resources here to develop and enhance new tools to look at the quantum aspects of materials. ORNL has an atmosphere of excitement that comes from working on some of the biggest challenges in neutron science." #PeopleofNeutronSciences Current openings: https://bit.ly/3v83etH #careers #jobs #sciencejobs

A team of scientists led by Olivier Delaire of Duke University discovered a way to help make batteries safer, charge faster and last longer. They relied on neutrons at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to understand at the atomic scale how lithium moves in a promising new type of solid-state battery material known as a superionic compound. “Our findings are impactful because they open the door to optimizing conductivity of the ions inside the material, therefore unlocking a path to increasing battery performance," said Naresh Osti, co-author and neutron scattering scientist at ORNL. ????

ICYMI: At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a group of scientists used #neutronscattering techniques to investigate a relatively new functional material called a Weyl semimetal. Scientists think that Weyl semimetals, if used in future electronics, could allow electricity to flow more efficiently and enable more energy-efficient computers and other electronics. “Our experiments revealed that, when this semimetal reaches the point where it transitions into a magnet, the magnetic symmetry changes or breaks. This is accompanied with simultaneous changes in atomic positions in localized areas compared to the overall, average symmetry of the material,” said Qiang Zhang, a neutron scientist at SNS and corresponding author who initiated the study. “Discovering the existence of local symmetry breaking in a Weyl semimetal is crucial to understanding the magnetic and quantum properties of this and other functional materials.”

Have you heard of our Neutron Ambassador Program? ???? Neutron ambassadors are experienced users who want to become strong advocates of neutron scattering and mentor new users in their region and/or scientific community. Ambassadors will communicate the benefits of using neutron scattering to solve complex research problems, help new users bridge any knowledge gaps as they become familiar with neutron scattering techniques, and provide encouragement to help them feel welcome in the community. Ambassadors will do this by participating in outreach efforts facilitated by ORNL. Learn more and apply today ?? https://bit.ly/4gMLuqF

Proposal writing workshop is happening (virtually!) next week, will you be there? ?? The SNS/HFIR User Office will host a virtual proposal writing workshop on Thursday, Jan. 16 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. This webinar is for new users and students/postdocs who may have participated in an experiment but are writing a proposal for the first time, or anyone who wants to brush up on their proposal writing skills! This workshop will provide an overview of the submission and review process as well as guidance on how to write a strong proposal. The New User Beamtime Program (NUBe) will be introduced; it will provide extra support to new users. Register now to receive updates and a calendar invite for the workshop! ??https://bit.ly/3WgnPqf
