ORNL is beginning a four-year collaboration exploring the use of high-performance computing (HPC) to drive innovation around nonequilibrium quantum materials. This collaborative effort, Controlled Numerics for Emergent Transients in Nonequilibrium Quantum Matter will create an interdisciplinary research program to transform how scientists model and understand the complex behaviors and processes that happen when quantum materials are out of balance.
MPEX is a new ORNL facility designed to recreate the extreme conditions at the edge of fusion reactors so researchers can test how plasma-facing materials survive. Its capabilities will speed the development of durable components needed for future fusion power plants.
In an innovative new AI project, tech startup company Atomic Canyon and their partner, Diablo Canyon — California’s only operational nuclear power plant — used the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop novel AI models based on the unique needs of the nuclear industry.
At SC25, DOE Undersecretary Dario Gil joined national labs in spotlighting the accelerating integration of AI, quantum and HPC, while ORNL delivered multiple talks and demonstrations on emerging computational technologies. ORNL teams also won Best Paper, Best Student Paper and several additional honors.
Anne Campbell, an R&D staff member in the Advanced Nuclear Materials Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division at ORNL, has been elected vice chair of the Composite Materials Committee of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.
Researchers from the University of Windsor are using neutrons at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to better understand symptoms associated with E-cigarette/Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI).
The American Nuclear Society has named the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher Askin Guler Yigitoglu to its 40 Under 40 list for 2025.
Emory Collins’ six-decade career at ORNL began in 1965 and spanned major advances in isotope production, nuclear fuel cycle research, and national responses such as the Three Mile Island cleanup. As the lab’s longest-serving full-time employee, he continues to apply his deep technical expertise to modern isotope challenges, mentoring colleagues and contributing to programs that shape the nation’s nuclear science capabilities.
Building on ORNL’s legacy in health physics, Caleigh Samuels uses AI to modernize radiation dosimetry models. Her work provides federal agencies with the accurate data needed to strengthen nuclear safety.
Purdue University and ORNL have signed a memorandum of understanding to advance their long-standing research collaboration focused on national security. Under the agreement, Purdue and ORNL will pursue new research collaboration opportunities to enhance national defense.
