IDEMIA Identity & Security USA has licensed an advanced optical array developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The portable technology can be used to help identify individuals in challenging outdoor conditions.
A team of scientists led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered the specific gene that controls an important symbiotic relationship between plants and soil fungi, and successfully facilitated the symbiosis in a plant that
![As part of a preliminary study, ORNL scientists used critical location data collected from Twitter to map the location of certain power outages across the United States.](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2019-02/PowerOutageTweets_map_0.png?h=6448fdc1&itok=AUit-O2Y)
Gleaning valuable data from social platforms such as Twitter—particularly to map out critical location information during emergencies— has become more effective and efficient thanks to Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
