Coal-to-graphite innovation turns waste materials from coal into tomorrow’s batteries, creating jobs and strengthening U.S. energy security.
Research from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Transportation Research Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) helped clear the way for gasoline with 15% ethanol, or E15, to enter the marketplace.
ORNL researchers developed a Smart Smoke Alarm that used sophisticated algorithms to more accurately identify fires, offering much faster detection of smoldering fires than conventional technology at the time.
Communities using grid-interactive building technologies, such as Wi-Fi-enabled smart appliances and equipment, are proven to consume more than 40% less energy than similarly constructed homes.
A system that uses a quick tap test to calibrate computer numerical control machines is boosting productivity for U.S. manufacturers — and saving time, money and energy in the process.
A research demonstration unveiled at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory combines clean energy technologies into a 3D-printed building and vehicle to showcase a new approach to energy use, storage and consumption.
