Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using a new modeling framework in conjunction with data collected from marshes in the Mississippi Delta to improve predictions of climate-warming methane and nitrous oxide
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories are evolving graph neural networks to scale on the nation’s most powerful computational resources, a necessary step in tackling today’s data-centric
New computational framework speeds discovery of fungal metabolites, key to plant health and used in drug therapies and for other uses.
Louise Stevenson uses her expertise as an environmental toxicologist to evaluate the effects of stressors such as chemicals and other contaminants on aquatic systems.
In summer 2023, ORNL's Prasanna Balaprakash was invited to speak at a roundtable discussion focused on the importance of academic artificial intelligence research and development hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Electric vehicles can drive longer distances if their lithium-ion batteries deliver more energy in a lighter package. A prime weight-loss candidate is the current collector, a component that often adds 10% to the weight of a battery cell without contributing energy.
Jack Orebaugh, a forensic anthropology major at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has a big heart for families with missing loved ones. When someone disappears in an area of dense vegetation, search and recovery efforts can be difficult, especially when a missing person’s last location is unknown. Recognizing the agony of not knowing what happened to a family or friend, Orebaugh decided to use his internship at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory to find better ways to search for lost and deceased people using cameras and drones.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have identified the most energy-efficient 2024 model year vehicles available in the United States, including electric and hybrids, in the latest edition of the Department of Energy’s Fuel Economy Guide.
A team of researchers from the University of Southern California, the Renaissance Computing Institute at the University of North Carolina, and Oak Ridge, Lawrence Berkeley and Argonne National Laboratories have received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop the fundamentals of a computational platform that is fault tolerant, robust to various environmental conditions and adaptive to workloads and resource availability.
Despite its futuristic essence, artificial intelligence has a history that can be traced through several decades, and the ORNL has played a major role. From helping to drive fundamental and applied AI research from the field’s early days focused on expert systems, computer programs that rely on AI, to more recent developments in deep learning, a form of AI that enables machines to make evidence-based decisions, the lab’s AI research spans the spectrum.
