Leaders in quantum science reflect, plan for future innovation
Observations of wildflowers, birds, animal inventories, invasive plants and history highlight topics to be focused on this spring during six weekend nature walks in the Department of Energy's National Environmental Research Park. "We've had continuing strong interest from the public in see...
Sixth graders at Lenoir City's North Middle School are still be a few years away from their career pursuits, but they had some career seeds planted in their heads during a recent visit by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers.
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory study of structural damage from Hurricane Ike in 2008 shows that buildings with large openings such as garages and loading docks are more prone to hurricane damage even if the structure's construction meets local building codes. The findings by ORNL engineer Andre ...
Hydrogen for transportation may have received a boost with the discovery of an enzyme cocktail that converts cellulosic materials and water into hydrogen fuel. A team of researchers from Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Georgia report in the journal ChemSusChem (Che...
A combination of neutron, X-ray and atom-probe analysis has given researchers previously inaccessible insight to the atomic structure of a new multicomponent bulk metallic glass. The research by a team led by Xun-Li Wang of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has revealed the st...
With the aid of a one-of-a-kind instrument at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, scientists have made a series of discoveries that could open new pathways for nanoscale electronics. The study, published in Nature Materials...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Will Minter has been presented with a 2009 Black Engineer of the Year Award for Corporate Promotion of Higher Education.
With calls for a mass upgrade of the nation's infrastructure - especially in transportation - the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is leading the way with technology involving the term smart freight, according to Oak Ridge's Randy Walker. "Smart freight would creat...
Students teams from 15 universities have been selected to advance to the semi-final round of the 2009 Global Venture Challenge 2009 March 25-27 at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The 2009 teams are: Clark Atlanta University/Morehous...
Colonies of cyber robots with unique missions can in near real time detect network intruders on computers that support U.S. infrastructure. These "cybots" created for an ORNL software program called UNTAME (Ubiquitous Network Transient Autonomous Mission Entities) may be especially useful for helpin...
