Neutron scattering studies at sites such as ORNL’s High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, provide researchers with a wealth of information about the positions, motions, and magnetic properties of solids.
In August 2003, an alarm system failed to warn workers at an Ohio electric utility of a minor problem with a single high-voltage power line, so the workers didn’t respond immediately.
The construction and demonstration of the Additive Manufacturing + Integrated Energy (AMIE) project was a unique opportunity to showcase Oak Ridge National Laboratory expertise and collaboration in many areas, including 3D printing and vehicle
The development of the ultrasonic clothes dryer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a prime example of collaboration among various divisions at the lab—drawing upon the expertise necessary no matter where a scientist sits to transform a well-researched
The Electrical and Electronics Systems Research Division’s (EESR’s) Power Electronics and Electric Machinery (PEEM) Group is putting its unique wide bandgap (WBG) evaluation facilities to work in benchmarking components used in devices such as inverters
Sensors and controls—and by extension, sensor and control research—have been integral to ORNL accomplishments since the lab’s inception nearly 75 years ago.
Efforts to bring ORNL’s wireless sensor platform to market are on target and proceeding as planned.
A 20-kilowatt wireless charging system demonstrated at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has achieved 90 percent efficiency at three times the rate of the plug-in systems commonly used for electric vehicles today.
ORNL is developing a new airport and runway lighting technology to enhance visibility for pilots during takeoffs and landings.
According to Roger Kisner of the Electrical and Electronics Systems Research Division, researchers from his division and the Phy
