Anne Campbell of ORNL’s Materials Science and Technology Division is a member of the first fully female team to lead a meeting of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, or TMS, and the American Nuclear Society, or ANS.
When The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) asked Valentino Cooper, a section head in ORNL’s Materials Science and Technology Division, to coauthor a profile of Bettye Washington Greene, a “hidden figure” in chemistry, he did not disappoint.
More than 50 current employees and recent retirees from ORNL received Department of Energy Secretary’s Honor Awards from Secretary Jennifer Granholm in January as part of project teams spanning the national laboratory system.
Researchers at ORNL used polymer chemistry to transform a common household plastic into a reusable adhesive with a rare combination of strength and ductility, making it one of the toughest materials ever reported.
