James Allen Bucholz of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been named to the Bulgarian Nuclear Society. Bucholz, a nuclear engineer, is a research staff member with ORNL's Computational Physics and Engineering Division, and is currently on assignment to the Spal...
A whole new technology awaits exploration with the discovery of a technique for trapping single atoms, according to scientists at ORNL. Researchers at ORNL and Nanocrystals Technology in Briarcliff, N.Y., have collaborated to cage single europium atoms in nanocrystals not much larger than the atoms ...
In many of today's chemical applications, efficient mixing is critical to achieve product quality and uniformity, and ORNL engineers have devised a better way to do the mixing. The electrohydrodynamic micromixing reactor uses a specially designed electrified injection nozzle that mixes the chemicals...
Emergency responders have a new tool developed by ORNL that could save perhaps thousands of lives around the world. The LandScan Global Population Database is a worldwide source of population data with spatial precision to assess local impacts from floods, airborne contamination and other natural or...
ORNL researchers are developing a system that would provide an eight- to 50-minute warning before an epileptic seizure, giving a person time to take appropriate action. The system uses dime-size scalp electrodes that relay electroencephalographic signals to a computer for analysis. A warning alert w...
Researchers and engineers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have won three R&D 100 Awards, pushing their national lab-leading total to 107 since the awards began in 1963.
The awards, announced today by ORNL Director Bill Madi...
Scientists studying the ability of bacteria to clean up contaminated groundwater and soil will be able to do basic research at a field site at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation.DOE has selected its Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to operate a field research center located in Bea...
Recently acquired supercomputers from IBM and Compaq have made Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) home to the most powerful unclassified computers in the nation and are advancing its leadership role in computational science.
Determining when a crime victim died can make the difference between a criminal going free or being brought to justice, and researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are developing a system that could help justice prevail.
Thomas Thundat, research staffer in the Life Sciences Division of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is one of 19 finalists to earn a 2000 Discover Award.
