The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists will lead nine and contribute to an additional 30 projects of the Genesis Mission, which aims to transform science in the U.S.
Scientific Achievement: Using polycrystalline beryllium as a test case, researchers demonstrated that dynamic electron correlations can be probed directly with inelastic x-ray scattering.
ORNL received five of nine awards from the U.S. Department of Energy's Transportation Technologies Office at the 2026 Annual Merit Review for innovations in transportation efficiency, vehicle technologies, and advanced manufacturing.
David Radford has built his career on helping his fellow scientists see what would otherwise remain invisible. A nuclear physicist at the U.S.
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.
Scientist Jason Newby measures phenomena that have never been observed, including a neutrino bouncing off an atomic nucleus — a signal as subtle as the tiny recoil of a bowling ball struck by a ping-pong ball.
Physicists at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and researchers at ORNL have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104, an important step in answering a century-old question and understanding how hundreds
