Comprehensive risk analysis provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers plays a crucial role in keeping billions of dollars of electricity generation on line — without compromising safety. In the absence of license renewal, more than 40 percent of the nation's 104...
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory study shows that a newly redesigned generation of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, or EIFS, walls perform better than several other wall types tested for moisture and thermal performance. EIFS walls use foam insulation, fiberglass mesh and performance-engineer...
A new type of stainless steel alloy developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory could allow for significantly increased operating temperatures and corresponding increases in efficiency in future energy production systems. The new alloys offer superior oxidation resistance compared to conventional sta...
Through a better understanding of photoreceptors that influence the shape and growth of poplar trees, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory hope to improve crop yields for ethanol production. A recently announced three-year $1.04 million ORNL project is part of an $8.3 million Department of E...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been recognized for its outstanding environmental compliance record by being accepted into the Environmental Protection Agency's National Performance Track Program.
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...
UT-Battelle has achieved improved energy efficiency at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory through infrastructure improvements and new buildings that are replacing many facilities more than 50 years old. Greg Palko, ORNL's energy efficiency manager for facilities, say...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Jeff Wadsworth is leaving the community the same way he arrived here -- leading the charge to improve public education and renovate Oak Ridge High School.
UT-Battelle announced today the selection of Dr. Thom Mason as Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
