The U.S. Department of Energy announced today its newest supercomputers, Discovery and Lux, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that will expand America’s leadership in artificial intelligence for scientific computing, strengthen national security, and drive the next generation of Gold Standard Science and innovation.
A research team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method to uncover the atomic origins of unusual material behavior. This approach uses Bayesian deep learning, a form of artificial intelligence that combines probability theory and neural networks to analyze complex datasets with exceptional efficiency.
A new patent granted to ORNL researchers redefines how nuclear systems are validated, offering a faster path to next-generation nuclear energy. By using machine learning to identify high-value experiments, this approach can eliminate redundancies and define clear boundaries for AI and digital twin models.
By combining AI with molecular dynamics simulations, researchers at ORNL have developed a new tool to more accurately predict how plants and helpful microbes communicate and form partnerships at the most fundamental level. The new AI-powered workflow helps scientists identify which plant genes control the best microbial partnerships.
ORNL has set a new lab record with 20 R&D 100 Awards in this year’s global competition, announced by R&D World magazine. ORNL led 17 of the winning innovations and co-developed three more, highlighting its leadership in developing breakthrough technologies that strengthen the nation’s energy systems, advance next-generation materials and manufacturing, and accelerate discovery through AI and high-performance computing.
The U.S. Air Force awarded startup SkyNano, led by Innovation Crossroads alumna Anna Douglas, a $1.25 million contract to advance its CO2-to-carbon nanotube technology as part of a project to develop low-cost, battery-grade graphite.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and artificial intelligence company Atomic Canyon signed a memorandum of understanding to streamline the licensing process for nuclear power plants with artificial intelligence for license
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory had a major presence at the second annual AI+ Expo for National Competitiveness in Washington, D.C. The event, hosted by the Special Competitive Studies Project, showcased prominent players in technology, academia and government as they navigate the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.
DOE’s Argonne, Idaho, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories co-hosted the AI x Nuclear Energy Executive Summit: Unleashing the Power for AI. It brought together leaders from national labs, tech companies and the nuclear energy industry to discuss how to meet AI’s energy needs and accelerate nuclear energy via AI.
Researchers at ORNL have developed a tool that gives builders a quick way to measure, correct and certify level foundations. FLAT, or the Flat and Level Analysis Tool, examines a 360-degree laser scan of a construction site using ORNL-developed segmentation algorithms and machine learning to locate uneven areas on a concrete slab.
