UT-Battelle has made it possible for an Oak Ridge family to live in a new home.
After a kick off with football coach Butch Jones, fund-raising events throughout the summer, and a campaign that added three dozen Leadership givers, UT-Battelle announced that its 2013 United Way campaign raised $901,048 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
A University of Tennessee graduate student’s research with Oak Ridge National Laboratory could someday help in locating unmarked graves sites. Katie Corcoran is working ORNL’s computational sciences group in utilizing technology to study terrain and other geog...
A membrane technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory could help secure the nation’s helium supply by enabling the extraction of helium from new, low-grade sources. A steady supply of helium is critical for high-tech applications in MRI machines, fiber optic manufacturing, semiconductor...
Scientists are using supercomputers to reveal the structure of proteins whose aggregation is involved in the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Pavan GhattyVenkataKrishna, a former Oak Ridge National Laboratory postdoctoral...
Climate change spurs heat waves, droughts, fires and infestations that threaten trees. Researchers at the Climate Change Science Institute at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and collaborators on a Forest Service-funded project are mapping the effect of projected climate change on tree populations. “...
Families of thousands of victims of social violence may gain closure, and killers may receive appropriate punishment, because of a suite of technologies able to locate clandestine graves. While investigators can find some graves, perhaps hundreds of thousands remain undiscovered. Researchers at th...
During a recent visit to the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn., discussed the recent formation of the House Science and National Laboratories Caucus.
Lignin is a waste material that is produced when paper is manufactured from wood. Instead of disposing of the lignin, a research team at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has learned how to take the material and convert it into powering a...
The ability to control nanoscale imperfections in superconducting wires results in materials with unparalleled and customized performance, according to a new study from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
