![A new method uses E. coli to generate DNA with methylation patterns that target microbes recognize and accept as their own, facilitating customization of microbes for biofuels production.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-09/bacteria_combinedwlabels1.png?h=f0ebf81d&itok=S-lziAuh)
Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a method to insert genes into a variety of microorganisms that previously would not accept foreign DNA, with the goal of creating custom microbes to break down plants for bioenergy.
![As part of DOE’s HPC4Mobility initiative ORNL researchers developed machine learning algorithms that can control smart traffic lights at intersections to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic and increase fuel efficiency.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-09/GRIDSMART%20camera%20Leesburg.jpg?h=69d5bf00&itok=fs1X_e0D)
A modern, healthy transportation system is vital to the nation’s economic security and the American standard of living. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is engaged in a broad portfolio of scientific research for improved mobility
