Robert Hettich: Decoding biological complexity with next-gen mass spectrometry
Aided by a supply of the extremely rare element berkelium produced at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, an international research collaboration has presented new evidence of element 117.
Waterways across the United States with no dams or hydropower facilities could add more than 65 gigawatts of hydropower to the grid, or about 128 percent of the nation’s hydropower net annual generation, according to an Oak Ridge National Laboratory report. The study took advantage of advanced geo...
An international team of researchers from several Korean institutes, one Australian university and Oak Ridge National Laboratory has reported on a performance record in high-temperature superconducting wires. The material, fabricated through a Korean-developed manufacturing process and tested at O...
Nine U.S. diesel engine manufacturers and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are using their collective horsepower to tackle the perennial industry-wide problem of efficiency-robbing soot in engines. Over time, heat exchangers in diesel engines become coated with soot and unburned fuel that robs 1-2 pe...
UT-Battelle, the managing contractor for the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is contributing $10,000 in matching donations to a Habitat for Humanity project dedicated to Tim and Teresa Myrick, who have been enduring supporters of the organization that provides shelter for deserving families.
America’s roadways could be safer in the future as the result of a project to automatically analyze 3,000 drivers’ reactions and responses over 1 million hours as they motored around the nation. Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are examining information gathered with multiple video camera...
Three researchers from the Fuels, Engines and Emissions Research Center at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory received major awards at the recent Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new and unconventional battery chemistry aimed at producing batteries that last longer than previously thought possible.
Treating cadmium-telluride (CdTe) solar cell materials with cadmium-chloride improves their efficiency, but researchers have not fully understood why.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher John Wagner has been named a 2013 recipient of the Department of Energy’s Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award for his work in advancing computer, information and knowledge sciences.
