Wide tires on tractor-trailers can reduce the weight of a rig, enabling additional cargo to be added without compromising fuel efficiency. That conclusion is drawn from an in-depth tractor-trailer performance study managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Center for Transportation Analysis. The st...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory will be home to two of 46 new multi-million-dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) announced today by the White House in conjunction with a speech delivered by President Barack Obama at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman, (D-New Mexico), who chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, visited Oak ridge National Laboratory today said research taking place at the Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory works in concert with work taking place at the two national laboratories located in his state of New Mexico.
7, 2009, for the International Conference on Neutron Scattering 2009 (ICNS 2009). This conference is the 9th ICNS in the series since the conferences began with ICNS 1982 in Hakone, Japan, and follows ICNS 2005 in Sydney, Australia.Spon...
Dozens of the nation's authorities on cyber security will be participating in the Fifth Cyber Security and Information Intelligence Research Workshop April 13-15. The focus of this event, which is open to the public, is to discuss novel theoretical and empirical rese...
An effort to gather environmental data related to the energy efficiency of buildings through weatherization technologies will be conducted in a joint project that includes Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Building Technologies, Research and Integration Center. ORNL engineer Andre Desjarlais says his ...
Graphene, a single-layer sheet of graphite, has potential as a remarkable material, particularly for electronics and composite applications. However, working with the material leaves molecular-scale rough edges, which can spoil its properties. Researchers at MIT and the Laboratory for Nanoscience an...
Making sense of the enormous amounts of information delivered by all types of sensors is an incredible challenge, but it's being met head on with knowledge discovery techniques developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Some of the strategies and approaches are outlined in a recently published book...
By identifying a novel compound that primes a plant's immune system, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Chicago may be on a path to developing disease-resistant plants
Several hundred college and high school women wanting to pursue science or engineering careers, met other women working in these fields - present and past - during a recent conference at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.Oak Ridge general counsel Nicole Porter - the conf...
