A discovery by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers may aid the design of materials that better manage heat.

Quantum—Widening the net

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory studying quantum communications have discovered a more practical way to share secret messages among three parties, which could ultimately lead to better cybersecurity for the electric grid
