Brian Anderson has led ORNL's Enrichment Science and Engineering Division since 2020, overseeing work in enrichment technologies and stable isotope production. The division supports national needs across security, research, medicine and industry while expanding its technical capabilities and workforce.
American industries face months-long waits for forged and cast metal parts from overseas, slowing innovation in areas vital to the nation’s energy, infrastructure and security. To address this challenge, researchers at ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility partnered with Lincoln Electric to advance large-scale metal additive manufacturing.
Shaun Gleason has been appointed to Tennessee’s Artificial Intelligence Advisory Council. Council members are appointed by the governor and provide a collaborative source of knowledge, expertise and information sharing to advance the state’s use of AI technologies.
What began as a plan to teach in a classroom eventually brought Shannon Cass to ORNL, where she teaches in a different way — by helping others understand the importance of security. As security operations lead for the Enrichment Science and Engineering Division, she works to protect both people and information while supporting the lab’s mission.
Researchers at ORNL have developed an innovative energy storage system design that introduces a safer, more efficient method for electrical charge transfer. The research team’s success is encouraging for next-generation energy storage systems that could help meet growing energy demands.
Researchers from ORNL, the U.S. Navy, Electric Boat and the University of Connecticut are using neutron scattering at the High Flux Isotope Reactor to investigate residual stresses that cause ductility dip cracking in copper-nickel welds. The study aims to better understand the mechanisms behind ductility dip cracking and develop approaches to mitigate its occurrence, resulting in safer vessels for the Navy.
Giri Prakash, lead for the Earth System Informatics and Data Discovery Section at ORNL, has been elevated to senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
ORNL researchers enhanced atomic force microscopy with machine learning to write and erase nanoscale patterns in ferroic materials. This innovation promises multistate memory capabilities and advances electronic data storage.
ORNL marked another year of research driven by innovation and collaboration in 2025, as reflected in the laboratory’s most-read stories.
