Materials science and physics research led by early career Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists received a boost this week from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science Early Career Research Program.

This year’s 61 awardees were selected from a pool of 770 university- and national laboratory-based applicants.
