ORNL has deployed Pathfinder, a new 20-qubit IQM Radiance quantum computer, to advance research that combines quantum computing with high-performance computing.
Researchers at ORNL developed a high-performance computing and physics-based modeling framework that predicts how large-scale lithium-ion battery systems age under different grid operating conditions.
Researchers from ORNL, Cleveland Clinic and IBM demonstrated how quantum-centric supercomputing can model the complex chemistry of molten salts used in fusion reactors, helping solve a key challenge in producing tritium fuel.
Behind every self-driving laboratory at ORNL is a team most people never see. Facilities and Operations workers are building and maintaining the infrastructure that makes autonomous science possible.
Researchers from ORNL and international collaborators discovered a simpler, lower-pressure method to produce R8 silicon, a rare form of silicon with promising applications in energy storage and electronics.
ORNL developed JACC, an open-source framework that enables Julia applications to run efficiently on CPUs and GPUs from multiple hardware vendors using a single codebase.
ORNL had a major presence at the 2026 AI+ Expo for National Competitiveness with multiple ORNL researchers presenting and demoing their latest work.
ORNL researchers developed advanced lightweight aluminum alloys that helped GM create a medium-duty truck engine that is more than 10% more fuel-efficient and 15% lighter while meeting demanding durability requirements.
A new high-temperature, 3D-printable aluminum alloy, developed by ORNL in less than three years rather than decades, redefines standards for high-performance automotive and aerospace components by offering performance improvements capable of saving bill
Long after most of East Tennessee has gone to sleep, ORNL remains at work. Operators, technicians, engineers, first responders and security personnel support critical operations across the laboratory, while scientists and self-driving labs work to transform the pace of discovery in energy, national security and advanced science.
