Researchers at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have made a scientific advance by using a natural substance from fungi, called chitin, to create hydrogels that are both significantly stronger and tougher.
ORNL employees volunteered with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee to pack 8,000 weekend food bags for children experiencing food insecurity through the Food for Kids program.
Researchers at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, demonstrated an AI-driven workflow that guided data collection in real time during a beamline experiment at Cornell University's CHESS facility.
Rigoberto "Gobet" Advincula, a Governor's Chair Professor jointly appointed at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, has been named a 2026 Fellow of the American Chemical Society's Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Division.
Scientific Achievement: Exsolution behavior in high-entropy oxides (HEOs) were rationally tuned through coupled lattice- and valence-engineering, resulting in a highly active and selective catalyst for acetylene semi-hydrogenation to et
Scientific Achievement: Phase-field modeling and mesoscale imaging reveal that surface wettability and temperature control whether water condenses as isolated droplets or uniform films on magnesium oxide (MgO), directly determining the
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.
David Radford has built his career on helping his fellow scientists see what would otherwise remain invisible. A nuclear physicist at the U.S.
