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.
With the acquisition of a Silicon Graphics, Altix 3000 system, ORNL scientists will have another powerful resource to analyze large sets of data and perform other research vital to science. The new system features 256 just released Intel Itanium2 processors, 2 terabytes of global shared memory and 1...
People living in the north-central section of the United States have been treated to earlier hints of spring, according to findings of T.J. Blasing and colleagues in ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division. Over the last 25 years, the rapid temperature increases typical of late winter are occurring 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...
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...
UT-Battelle announced today the selection of Dr. Jeff Wadsworth as Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.Dr. Wadsworth, who will begin his duties on August 1, joins ORNL after years of distinguished service as a senior leader at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, as well as service at Batt...
to-digital holography process, allows for high-speed and high-sensitivity detection of defects in semiconduct...
Getting single molecules of semiconducting polymers to orient themselves vertically on a glass surface is more than just a novelty, says Mike Barnes of the lab's Chemical Sciences Division. It turns out that the discovery could have applications in a number of areas, including for nanoscale electron...
Reliability and efficiency are hot issues for manufacturers of microturbines, and companies like United Technologies, Ingersoll-Rand and General Electric look to ORNL for answers to some of their problems. Microturbines, which typically burn natural gas and can supply from 30 kilowatts to 500 kilowa...
