The United States — and indeed the world — is in the midst of a water crisis.
Taking advantage of the impending increase in demand for lithium will be particularly challenging for the United States, which currently produces very little of the critically important mineral.
A collaborative research team from ORNL and other national laboratories is using artificial intelligence and computational screening techniques — in combination with experimental validation — to identify and design drug therapies to target the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here are five promising approaches.
In early 2020, before the novel coronavirus had been named a pandemic, ORNL computational chemist Marti Head abruptly switched her focus — as did many scientists and researchers around the globe — to fight COVID-19.
Five ORNL scientists have been tapped by DOE’s Office of Science to receive significant research funding as part of the Early Career Research Program.
Matthew Beidler, a physicist in the Fusion Energy Division, started on a research path at a very young age.
A diverse group of fungi lives in symbiosis with poplar trees, sharing water and nutrients in a complex and mutually beneficial system. Understanding these interactions provides an opportunity to engineer ecosystems — maximizing soil health, mitigating adverse impacts on climate and producing resilient plants.
