While trying to decide on an area of technical study as an undergraduate, Madhu Chinthavali visited labs at his college in India. One particular lab where an electrical engineer had devised various motor controls caught his eye.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have received seven R&D 100 Awards in recognition of their significant advancements in science and technology. The honorees were recognized on Nov.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated that permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing can outperform bonded magnets made using traditional techniques while conserving critical materials.
A global agreement to phase down the use of potent greenhouse gas refrigerants and replace them with climate-friendly alternatives leaned on multiple ORNL studies.
The ingredients that make geothermal energy suitable for electricity production are simple: heat, permeability (usually fractured rock) and water. Until recently the trick has been finding all in the same place and in the right amounts.
Heavy construction machinery is the focus of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s latest advance in additive manufacturing research.
ORNL selected two building technologies projects as part of a DOE pilot designed to accelerate the transfer of clean energy technologies developed in national labs to the marketplace.
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is revolutionizing manufacturing processes. But to develop viable products for particular applications, researchers must find and eliminate flaws.
The 2016 United Way campaign at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory raised $900,000 – an increase of $30,000 over the 2015 campaign.
The nation’s top innovators will soon have the opportunity to advance their promising energy technology ideas at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in a new program called Innovation Crossroads.
