Michael Muhlheim, a staff member with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), recently won the 1996 Mark Mills Award from the American Nuclear Society (ANS) for best technical paper.
Migraine and epilepsy have more in common than researchers thought, says Lisa Stubbs, a genetics researcher at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).Stubbs and colleagues at ORNL recently completed a study in which they isolated, mapped and studied effects of the chr...
Imagine looking down at a yellow carpet and seeing a long, brown, sinuous thread with an occasional knot. That's the picture scientists at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) get on a computer screen when using an atomic force microscope (AFM) to image a serpentine...
Police, security guards and the public may soon be aided and protected, thanks to a miniature video camera project developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) researchers and licensed by Turtle Mountain Communications.Instrumentation and Control (I&C) Division researchers from the Department ...
Margaret (Peggy) Emmett of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has received the Distinguished Service Award from the Radiation Protection and Shielding Division of the American Nuclear Society (ANS).Emmett, group leader of the Nuclear Code Development Group in the ...
Mice may have a reputation for being quiet, but they're telling researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) something about the causes of leukemia, lymphoma and other illnesses in people.
Scientists traditionally use paper notebooks to keep track of their experimental ideas, notes on experimental setups, observations, and research results. These notebooks are kept on book shelves or in file cabinets.
Is there a better alternative? Yes, says Al Geist of the Department of ...
Although the Daresbury Nuclear Structure Facility in England was closed in 1993, one of its nuclear physics instruments will have a second life at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The large, multi-million-dollar instrument will be used with ORNL's upgraded radioactive-ion
Automobile manufacturers must crash models of their cars to determine if they meet safety standards for protecting passengers during accidents. Because a single car crash test can cost $50,000 to $750,000, an attractive alternative to crunching metal is crunching numbers.Inexpensive car-crash simul...
Anna Swan, a Wigner Fellow, has joined the research staff at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in the Solid State Division's Particle-Surface Interactions Section. The Wigner fellowship, designed to provide research opportunities for exceptional young scient...
