John Michael Ramsey, a University of Tennessee-Battelle corporate fellow with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has earned the 2003 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation.The award, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Foundatio...
The Welding Institute of the United Kingdom has presented an award to Sudarsanam Suresh Babu of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory for his contributions to welding technology.
Paul F. Becher, a corporate fellow and research group leader at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named to the National Materials Advisory Board of the National Research Council of the National Academies.The board is the principal source of objective, independent an...
Steve J. Zinkle, a researcher at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of ASM International, the Materials Information Society.
Researchers at ORNL are joining with other agencies to monitor the health of a mountain river and possibly head off detrimental effects of upriver development. Little River, which flows out of the Great Smoky Mountains, is considered a relatively pristine stream despite growth of a resort area along...
High-temperature superconducting cables can transmit up to five times as much electricity as conventional cables over the same rights-of-way. And, because the cable loses very little energy in the form of heat, it will cut electrical transmission losses in half - from 8 percent to 4 percent. H...
Computer models inspired by fusion research - and sand can provide insight toward understanding the complex North American power grid and reducing its vulnerability to blackouts. A dynamic computer model developed by ORNL and university partners simulates an electrical network. By incorpora...
Power blackouts need not interrupt normal routines such as keeping phone circuits and hotel electric systems operating. Using energy sources produced through the concept of distributed generation, Verizon Communications and a Hilton Hotel outside of Gary, Ind., may soon be able to operate reg...
Military helicopters, combat vehicles and limousines could be made safer with an improved armor developed by researchers at ORNL. Tests at the lab show that tiles made of ORNL's boron carbide ceramic and facings made of polymer matrix composites provide superior armor-piercing bullet-stopping abilit...
A potentially inexpensive miniature sensor able to detect tiny amounts of airborne plastic explosives in just seconds could make it possible to safeguard virtually all airports and key public facilities in the United States. The ORNL micromechanical system (MEMS) has several advantages over conventi...
