Increasing temperatures are one of several conditions scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are studying to determine how changes in climate – along with population growth and aging power plants – will affect the nation’s future energy needs.
Climate and energy scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method to pinpoint which electrical service areas will be most vulnerable as populations grow and temperatures rise.
The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory will add its computational know-how to the battle against cancer through several new projects recently announced at the White House Cancer Moonshot Summit.
Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductors — materials that can transport electricity with perfect efficiency at or near liquid nitrogen temperatures (minus-196 degrees Celsius) — scientists have been working to develop a theory that explains
When physicists Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered the first high-temperature superconductors in 1986, it didn’t take much imagination to envision the potential technological benefits of harnessing such materials.
Efforts to bring ORNL’s wireless sensor platform to market are on target and proceeding as planned.
Achievement: Devised a novel and accurate computational technique for investigating the self-assembly of large macromolecules, and used this method to reveal the initial stages of self-assembly of the carboxysome, the prototype bacterial
Minimizing the impact on freight movement when events like Hurricane Sandy happen is the focus of an Oak Ridge National Laboratory ongoing study led by Marc Fialkoff, a researcher in the Geographic Information Science and Technology Group.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory will play host this summer to researchers whose goal is to design computers that combine the best of human and machine.
To tailor tiny nanocrystals for catalysts, semiconductors and other applications, scientists must predict what happens inside the particle, at the boundary and in the solvent during particle growth.
