Now scientists in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Materials Science and Technology Division (MSTD) have collaborated with JFE Steel Corporation on using ORNL’s friction stir spot welding (FSSW) technology to join overlapping sheets of JFE’s adv
ORNL researchers created and tested new wireless charging designs that may double the power density, resulting in a lighter weight system compared with existing technologies.
From keeping the lights on to energizing phones and laptops to controlling indoor climate and fueling transportation, a reliable flow of electricity is essential to daily living.
The lab’s scientists are focused on a new architecture for transferring the grid’s data using “dark,” or underutilized, optical fiber to build a private, secure communication network.
ORNL engineer Ben Ollis has spent the past few years researching grid resilience.
EPB’s grid also serves as a living laboratory for researchers at ORNL, just over an hour’s drive north. Since 2014, the lab has tested a wide range of technologies on the EPB system, such as
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have received five 2019 R&D 100 Awards, increasing the lab’s total to 221 since the award’s inception in 1963.
ORNL and The University of Toledo have entered into a memorandum of understanding for collaborative research.
