ORNL has developed a software toolkit to speed the development of new motor designs and to improve the accuracy of their real-world performance.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-02/Motors_OeRSTED_0.jpg?h=af53702d&itok=mT24R4WI)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have created open source software that scales up analysis of motor designs to run on the fastest computers available, including those accessible to outside users at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a process that could remove CO2 from coal-burning power plant emissions in a way that is similar to how soda lime works in scuba diving rebreathers. Their research, published January 31 in...
