Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
Analyzing vast amounts of information to identify suspicious activities could become easier with EAGLE, a technology developed by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Rangan Sukumar. The software that scales on Cray’s Urika allows users to retrieve and visualize massive r...
Today, the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors announced that its scientists have successfully completed their first full-scale simulation of an operating nuclear reactor.
At the Climate Change Science Institute at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers are helping accelerate development of a model that the climate science community depends upon to generate simulation data for periodic planetary assessments. Researchers from seven Department of Energy national lab...
One obstacle to increased use of E85 will fall when Underwriters Laboratories begins certifying fuel dispensers, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are contributing data that could fuel the process. While E85, an alcohol fuel mixture, can help meet the goal of displacing 20 percent of gas...
SensorPedia, a writeable Web site in development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, solves a huge problem by giving emergency responders and decision-makers access to data from diverse sensor networks in near real time.Bryan Gorman of ORNL's Computational Sciences and Engineering Division notes...
Using an ocean of data, sophisticated mathematical models and supercomputing resources, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are putting climate models to the test with particular focus on weather extremes.Ultimately, the new methodology developed by Auroop Gangul...
By devising a novel computational approach to examining a large amount of data, scientists have gained insight into the intricate workings of proteins responsible for sensing their surroundings and transmitting that information inward. Despite being studied for decades, little is known about how the...
A new adaptation of statistical tools applied to geophysical data sets show that the correlation between the variability of large river flows and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation index is much higher than previously thought. The research, published in Geophysical Research Letters (Vol. 33, 2006), re...
