Ceramic research performed at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was recently recognized with a First-In-Class Award presented during the 97th annual meeting of the American Ceramic Society in Cincinnati.
One of the longest studies of a forest tree species in an atmosphere enriched in carbon dioxide suggests that in this environment trees absorb airborne carbon more efficiently. The study, conducted at the Department of Energy's (DOE's) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), examined the response of ...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a technique to convert sulfur dioxide - a pollutant from coal-fired steam plants that causes acid rain - into a useful product - sulfur. Their biological process could save energy while reducing poll...

Diana Linville was among nine communicators working for the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) who received awards this year from the Society for Technical Communications (STC), an international society of 15,000 professional technical writers, editors, computer docum...
Just as straw was used to reinforce bricks and clay in ancient homes, ceramic needles can be added to metal to strengthen it for use in engine parts. A recent discovery at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) may lead to a more economical method for producing such n...
