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...
Transmission - Three times the efficiency Next-generation power lines that are lighter and can transmit far more electricity will likely play a role in modernizing the nation's power grid. The new transmission lines, made of 3M Nextel 610 ceramic fibers embedded in an aluminum matrix, are un...
Ridding natural gas of sulfur and other impurities means cleaner air, and it is the focus of a project that would take advantage of two technologies developed at ORNL. The goal is to build and demonstrate a low-cost regenerative desulfurizer based on the carbon fiber composite molecular sieve and el...
Hua-Tay Lin of the Metals and Ceramics Division of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been recognized on three fronts for his research.Lin was elected a fellow of the American Ceramic Society, chair of the organization's Engineering Ceramics Division and was appointed chai...
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has awarded a $22M contract to Caddell/Blaine Joint Venture of Knoxville for construction of the main office and lab facility for the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS).The 80,000-square-foot building will house CNMS staff and use...
Alex DeTrana and Mazi Arzanpouli, two students pursuing their master's degrees in business administration at the University of Tennessee, are adding more than fresh faces to the Technology Transfer and Economic Development organization at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory."Th...
Two researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been named to the North American Editorial Board of the Superconductor Science and Technology Journal.
Amit Goyal, senior staff member in the Metals and Ceramics Division of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been appointed to positions with two scientific publications.
A mere 25 degrees can make a big difference in the operating efficiency of a turbine engine, and researchers at ORNL are helping Rolls Royce to demonstrate a technique called phosphor thermography. The technique could be used in the future to optimize turbine designs. Using special optics, a laser a...
If researchers can duplicate in the field what they have done in the lab, uranium that contaminates soil and water could be immobilized at a fraction of the cost of other methods of decontamination. The goal of Matthew Fields and other researchers in ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division and at Sta...
