Jesse Labbé: Innovating biotechnology for energy, security and health
The U.S. Department of Energy is sponsoring the inaugural Science & Energy Research Challenge (SERCh), Nov. 9-10, 2008, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is partnering with Oak Ridge Associated Universities to host the event. SERCh is a n...
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the U.S. ITER Project Office, which is housed at ORNL, have developed a new cast stainless steel that is 70 percent stronger than comparable steels and is being evaluated for use in the huge shield modules required by the ITER fusion device.
Every picture tells a story, especially when the pictures are of the people and places that are the foundation of almost 70 years of history at Oak Ridge National Laboratory."A Laboratory Reborn" is a new 90-page coffee table book that features hundreds of images documenting work at the lab and lif...
Four Oak Ridge National Laboratory technologies to improve energy efficiency in industry have won funding from the Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program. The projects, ranging from a heat-free heat treatment for industrial steels to less expensive better welds for large oil and gas ...
New analytical tools coming on line at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Department of Energy's state-of-the-art neutron science facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, include a beam line dedicated to nuclear physics studies.
Officials at Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced today that one of East Tennessee's largest United Way campaigns has topped $1 million.
Stronger stainless steel castings are critical to the regeneration of ceramic honeycomb filters used to produce cleaner exhaust systems and upgraded turbocharger housings for diesel engines. Improvements to these castings could result from test projects now under way at Oak Ridge National Laboratory...
Burnt bacon could become a thing of the past with new cookware that uses a patented graphite foam developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The lightweight material distributes heat much faster and more uniformly than conventional materials, allowing food to be cooked in a fraction of the time. Co...
The Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source has completed installation of another eagerly awaited analytical tool. SEQUOIA will be a star performer in the SNS's bevy of instruments for materials research, providing unprecedented, high-resolution neutron scattering studies of the dynamics of...
Radiation detection monitors at more than a dozen weigh stations in the Southeast will be put to the test this month as part of an exercise to be conducted by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office. The goal is to move toward widespread use of radiation detection devices to thwart efforts of terroris...
