ORNL has named Joe Hoagland associate laboratory director for its Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate, supporting its role in advancing the nation’s nuclear energy capabilities and the growth of the Oak Ridge Corridor as a nuclear industry hub. In this role, Hoagland will support the lab’s national missions and the growth of the nuclear and fusion energy sector.
Researchers at ORNL confirmed altermagnetism in hematite using neutron scattering, identifying a common, stable mineral as a promising, low-cost material for energy-efficient spintronic technologies.
Rob Moore is a leader in autonomous science at ORNL, where he advances AI-driven, self-driving laboratory systems to accelerate materials discovery. Building on his work with the INTERSECT initiative, he now leads efforts toward fully autonomous research through the Labs of the Future program, supporting DOE’s broader Genesis Mission.
Ross E. Blevins, a 98-year-old veteran and nuclear researcher, contributed to early nuclear science at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and later helped develop TVA’s first nuclear power plants. In 2026, he returned to ORNL to reflect on his remarkable career and experiences.
Lianhong Gu, distinguished staff scientist in the Biological and Environmental Systems Science Directorate at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named a fellow of the Ecological Society of America (ESA).
ORNL researchers developed a machine learning model that generates realistic tungsten microstructure images, helping fill gaps in costly experimental data. The approach supports virtual experiments to design more durable fusion reactor components and reduce maintenance costs.
Rinkle Juneja, an R&D staff scientist at ORNL, has been recognized as an Early Career Distinguished Presenter by the Materials Research Society and was selected to represent ORNL on the “Materials Research at the U.S. DOE National Laboratories” panel at the MRS Fall Meeting.
Researchers with the DOE's Quantum Science Center, led by ORNL, demonstrated the first digital quantum simulations of spin transport in one-dimensional materials, showing how quantum computers can model energy and information flow and advancing tools for studying complex quantum systems.
David Cullen, a Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory distinguished R&D staff scientist, has been elected a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America, a professional honor recognizing sustained scientific achievement and service that advance the fields of microscopy and microanalysis.
ORNL received more than $5 million from DOE;s Technology Commercialization Fund to advance research in grid security, artificial intelligence, nuclear energy and advanced manufacturing, helping move lab innovations toward industry use.
