Detecting airborne pollutants such as carcinogens and industrial effluents can be complex and costly. A new material developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) may find use as a cost-effective way of detecting and measuring such compounds.
A "fridge of the future" that uses half as much energy as today's refrigerator-freezers and a fifth as much as 1972 models has been designed and demonstrated at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).A popular size and style domestic refrigerator-freezer was altered t...
Douglas K. Halford of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been elected to a two-year term as treasurer of the Colorado chapter of the Wildlife Society.
In the race for technology, research at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge facilities resulted in 54 newly issued patents inventions last year. Sixty-one researchers contributed to the patents and will be honored at the annual Inventors Forum Luncheon at noon on Thursday, May 1 at the Garde...
A chip that fits your fingertip may someday measure and transmit your body temperature when you're ill. An array of chips attached to your body may obtain and send additional information on your blood pressure, oxygen level and pulse rate to your doctor miles away.Such "medical telesensors" - appli...
Alton F. Huntley of Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (LMES) Data Systems Research and Development (DSRD) Division has received one of the International Sybase User Group's three Outstanding Achievement Awards.
Carroll Johnson of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has won the 1997 Buerger Award from the American Crystallographic Association (ACA) for his work in thermal motion analysis of at oms in crystals.Johnson wrote the original Oak Ridge Thermal Ellipsoid Program (...
For most of the 40,000 nuclear medical procedures performed daily in the United States for diagnosis or therapy, chances are that the isotopes used originated at an Oak Ridge facility.
Some futurists dream about using hydrogen as a fuel to replace the dwindling supply of fossil fuels because it burns cleaner and uses renewable resources, including waste materials.Jonathan Woodward of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has found a new method that...
Integrated circuits are literally taking on a new life at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where researchers have developed a half living, half silicon chip to detect pollutants, explosives and a number of chemicals in soil and water.
