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.
Dianne Bull Ezell has always been a problem solver. As a child she built a bridge of Lego pieces for fun.
Refrigerators using the magnetocaloric effect will be both greener and more energy efficient than conventional appliances.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Momentum Technologies have signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement for an ORNL process designed to recover rare earth magnets from used computer hard drives.
