This project is directed towards improving the quality and efficacy of mammography imaging technologies as a tool to identify early-stage cancer and so improve the prospects for full recovery of the patient. Computed radiography (CR) has largely displaced screen/film technology in clinical use.… More

This Phase II focuses on moving a new transparent storage phosphor imaging plate technology from the laboratory to a clinical prototype product. In Phase I methods to make, polish, heat treat, and characterize ~6 x 8 cm glass plates that provide superior resolution compared to the current best were… More

In combination with advanced sample environments, the emerging generation of high flux neutron sources such as SNS provide an opportunity to revolutionize advanced materials research. Processing and solidifying liquids is a critical value adding step in manufacturing semiconductors, optical… More

Research on advanced materials is hampered by difficulty in accessing short-lived metastable states that play a crucial role in determining the material & apos;s ultimate structure, properties and performance. In combination with advanced sample environments, DOEs high flux neutron sources such… More

Extreme temperatures and non-equilibrium materials are both central to DOEs mission of addressing grand challenges in emerging energy and advanced materials technologies. Processing and solidifying liquids and molten materials is a critical value adding step in manufacturing semiconductors,… More
