Researchers at ORNL have achieved a friction-stir technology milestone. By applying the magnetic properties of iron nanodots to materials, a research team has overcome an obstacle to getting ultra-thin films to perform on par. An application and algorithm tweaked by ORNL researchers to dramatically increase a supercomputer's functionality is providing researchers with the potential to solve problems faster. A study published in Advanced Functional Materials has revealed several mechanisms behind ferroelectric relaxors behavior.
