DOE's Spallation Neutron Source has posted more firsts in its procession to full operation. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently opened a shutter that allowed an instrument to receive and count neutrons for the first time. Those neutrons also were the first "cold neutrons" produced a...
Extensive systems design, computational and visualization capabilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are playing a vital role in providing a "virtual soldier" for use in the treatment of battlefield wounds. As envisioned in the Virtual Soldier project, each soldier would be equipped with a person...
Disease diagnosis, forensics and environmental monitoring are among the areas likely to benefit by a system that combines the best of two proven technologies. Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Micromechanical Biochip Array Reader System provides fast and accurate identification of proteins and DNA seq...
Federal, state and local officials today dedicated a new technology park at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that proponents predict will bring new companies and jobs to East Tennessee.
Four Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have earned honors from Science Spectrum magazine for being top minorities in their respective fields.Justin Baba of ORNL's Engineering Science and Technology Division is the recipient of the 2006 Most Promising Scientist Award to be presented at ...
Members of Team UT-Battelle -- a volunteer organization composed of employees of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory participating in community service projects -- will be helping to build a new Habitat for Humanity home in Oak Ridge this spring and summer.Team UT-Battelle memb...
Designing complex systems such as nuclear reactors for space applications is a daunting task, but Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have made it less so by borrowing from nature.Using their genetic algorithm optimization tool, a takeoff of the natural selection process, Louis Qualls and col...
Oak Ridge High School student Jana Elisabeth Black has received the 2006 UT-Battelle Scholarship worth up to $20,000.
Barriers to commercializing high-quality nanomaterials useful for an array of applications could tumble because of a process invented at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. NanoFermentation represents a fundamentally new approach for producing extremely fine, uniform and highly crystalline powders usefu...
A new DOE initiative is helping large industrial plants and factories to quickly assess and identify how they can operate with greater energy efficiency. DOE's Save Energy Now program, introduced in the fall of 2005 by Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman, has scheduled Energy Savings Assessments to b...
