Early Career LDRD Spotlight: Hanna Breunig on Turning Waste Into Fuel
April 26th, 2018With funding from an Early Career Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) award, Hanna Breunig of the Energy Technologies Area is looking for affordable ways to clean and store methane-containing emissions. She will use the funds to create a new research program that connects industry and policymakers. More>
Twisted Structures Emerge From Achiral Molecules
April 26th, 2018How do chiral structures form spontaneously from achiral molecules? The answer could shed light on how certain biological molecules ended up being dominated by one type of chirality, a phenomenon known as “biological homochirality.” At the Advanced Light Source, researchers studied several chiral liquid-crystal phases made up of achiral, asymmetric molecules.

Quarterbacking Catalysts by Positioning Atoms
April 26th, 2018To create a winning football team, quarterbacks send their teammates to the right spots. In much the same way, scientists position catalytic atoms to drive reactions that can yield fuels and other products. Now a team using NERSC supercomputers has changed how researchers think about positioning oxygen atoms, which are vital to turning graphene into a unique catalytic support. More>
