Session Report

 

The Material Science section provided an open forum for university and national laboratory researchers to explore collaboration in the many inter-disciplinary branches of Material Science. This session was also open to those researchers with interests in Neutron Science.

Topics with a high level of mutual interest included: nanomaterials; the characterization of materials including microstructure, microchemistry, surface science, and properties; and processing science addressing metals processing, carbon materials, superconductors, and ceramic processing.

The exchange of ideas lead to preliminary discussion of collaboration between the University of Mississippi Medical College and ORNL in the area of biomaterials. Other preliminary discussions for collaboration include the University of Louisville, KY, and ORNL in the field biomolecular optoelectronics, as well as Wichita State University, KS, and ORNL in of modeling photosynthetic compounds for light-activated production of hydrogen and oxygen from water.Working groups on Magnetic Nanostructures and Nancomposites seem equally as promising.

The Magnetic Nanostructure group discussed a collaboration on "Fundamentals of Nanostructure," combining strengths in improved processing techniques, seeking expertise in microscopy at the National Laboratories, and identifying of potential funders.
