Colorado-based Gevo has licensed two ORNL catalyst technologies to advance pilot-scale production and commercialization of sustainable aviation fuel under a three-year cooperative research agreement supported by DOE.
Jennifer Morrell-Falvey, a senior staff scientist at ORNL, has been elected as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS, one of the world’s largest general scientific societies and publisher
A new biosensor developed at ORNL detects the emerging presence of fungus on plants at the molecular level, paving the way for next-generation crop protection and the development of stress-tolerant plants.
From the discovery of a mutant mouse to the frontier of quantum computing and new molecular frameworks, ORNL research connects to three of the 2025 Nobel Prizes.
Rebecca Wilkes, an ORNL synthetic biologist and UT-ORII Fellow, engineers microbes to convert biomass and waste into valuable chemicals. Her work aims to advance efficient biomanufacturing and support a domestic bioeconomy.
ORNL researchers showed that engineered nanobodies can precisely deliver radioactive isotopes such as actinium-225 to HER2-positive cancer cells.
Scientists at ORNL were part of a multi-institutional team that explored how modern scientific approaches such as genomics and biochemical profiling can be combined to understand and improve disease resistance in the iconic American chestnut tree.
Researchers at ORNL have invented a reusable adhesive from waste polymers that is tougher than commercial glues, works underwater as well as in dry environments, and bonds a variety of materials.
Carrie Eckert is working toward a future in which engineered microbes and plants are the workhorses of ultra-efficient biofactories, turning biomass into high-value products.
To meet the growing demand for faster scientific discovery that strengthens bioeconomy, plant scientists worked with manufacturing systems engineers at ORNL to develop robotics and computer vision to accelerate the development of new stress-tolerant pla
