Compared to conventional microcantilever-based explosives detectors, the latest from Oak Ridge National Laboratory is more compact and boasts greater specificity to explosives. The new sensor, the subject of a paper that appears in the Oct. 2 issue of Nature, is based on a silicon platform with an i...
Rand McNally's 2004 Goode's World Atlas will contain the most precise population information ever because of technology recently licensed from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. LandScan, developed by a team of researchers in the lab's Computational Sciences and Engineering Division, boasts population d...
Petroleum refineries are one of potentially several beneficiaries of a patented separation technology developed by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Refineries use high-purity hydrogen to convert crude oil into several products, including gasoline for automobiles. During the refining pro...
Lynn Boatner, a UT-Battelle corporate fellow, has earned the American Association for Crystal Growth Award--the highest honor presented by the association and given only once every three years.
Robust wireless technologies for extreme-environment communications developed by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory received the Excellence In Technology Transfer Award of the Year during the annual awards dinner of the Southeastern Region of the Federal Laboratory Consortium ...

Particle fuel coating technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory could play a big role in deployment one day of high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. The reactors and the fuel they consume would minimize the production of long-lived radioactive waste and would increase the burn rate. One o...
High-temperature superconducting transformers can perform the necessary change in voltage in a transmission system without the 23,000 liters of oil in conventional transformers. This reduces the weight of a power transformer from about 75 tons to about 45 tons for a 30 megavolt-ampere (MVA) u...
Miniaturized user-friendly mass spectrometers could play a huge role in safeguarding the nation, and about 150 of the world's best mass spectrometrists will be in Knoxville this month to showcase the latest in the field. The workshop, scheduled for Sept. 16-18 at the Marriott Hotel, is focusing on r...
Microorganism populations blanketed by Colorado's snow are a lot more active and diverse than previously thought, according to findings by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Christopher Schadt, lead author of a paper published in the Sept. 5 issue of Science. The discovery is significant because ...
