Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
The Department of Homeland Security's recent selection of Memphis as a "best practices" model for high-tech security measures could speed the implementation of similar technologies in other cities.
Small businesses interested in working with four Department of Energy national laboratories managed or co-managed by the Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, may participate in a two-day conference Aug. 30-31 at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Representatives from ORNL, Brookhaven ...
Spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors could be minimized and burn-up potentially doubled if Gamma Engineering's new silicon carbide-based cladding proves viable. Conventional cladding, the tubing that contains the enriched uranium that fuels reactors, becomes brittle and must...
The way growing piles of sand behave with bursts of energy that result in large and small avalanches has served as a model for fusion researchers seeking insight into the way magnetically confined plasmas behave in fusion reactors. The same research into self-organizing systems has also lent its...
High-resolution computational simulations and advanced visualizations are enabling researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to identify and gain a better understanding of proteins. Until recently, protein complexes have been viewed as static entities with biological function understood in terms ...
Teams of children from across Tennessee are being sought for the FIRST LEGO League state tournament Saturday, Dec. 4 at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville.
An electricity meter that sometimes runs backwards is just one of the cool aspects of Department of Energy near-zero-energy homes.
