Carbon trapped in the top few meters of permafrost soils across nearly 19 million square kilometers of northern regions could be released at a rate of about two to five times greater than previous estimates. This is the conclusion of 41 international scientists who publish on various aspects of perm...
Bronze and brass artifacts excavated at the ancient city of Petra have been imaged in three dimensions using neutrons at the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Neutron imaging allows archeologists and historians otherwise unobtainable insights into the manufacturing techniqu...
To comply with the mandate to increase the use of alternative fuels, the Coast Guard has enlisted the help of Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers with expertise in fuels and engines. "The Coast Guard has decided to use biobutanol rather than ethanol to mix with gasoline in their smaller craft,...
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor are getting a leg up in their research from an ingenious "low-tech" lighting tool using LEDs that, when fixed to their samples and pushed directly into the neutron beam, illuminate the response of layers of cyanobacteria to cha...
Cell death, or apoptosis, is a naturally occurring and necessary biological process. In apoptosis, the 92 amino acid BAX protein inserts itself into mitochondrial membranes
Scientists studying vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, traffic management and other transportation issues will now have improved access to state-of-the-art laboratories at the National Transportation Research Center.
The NTRC, located along Hardin Valley Road near Pellissippi Parkway in W...
Herb Mook is the recipient of the 2001 Director's Award for Outstanding Accomplishment in Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Mook received the laboratory's most prestigious scientific award at UT-Battelle's annual Awards Night ceremony. Mook was nominated for his cutting-edge re...
Thomas Mason, associate laboratory director of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Mason was cited for "distinguished contributions to condensed matter physics using neutron...
Construction began today for a state-of-the-art genomics facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that will help researchers better understand gene function and disease by studying the more than 60,000 mice that will be housed there.Scientists at the $13.9 million Laboratory for Comparative and Fu...
Ward Plummer, distinguished scientist in Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Solid State Division and distinguished professor of physics at the University of Tennessee, has earned the prestigious 2001 Medard W. Welch Award from the American Vacuum Society. The award is the highest honor presented by the...
