Jesse Labbé: Innovating biotechnology for energy, security and health
Broken drive belts in your car might be a thing of the past because of a technology being developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Electric drive motors could replace the belts that run compressors, water pumps and oil pumps of hybrid and fuel cell vehicles. The motors, however, require inverters...
First responders could minimize the risk to themselves and do their jobs more effectively if they were wearing a protective suit proposed by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. As envisioned by Gary Steimer of the lab's National Security Directorate, the Advanced Integrated Responder Ensemb...
Neptunium stored at the Savannah River Site is slated to be processed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and provide fuel for future space missions. Under the proposed program, the material would be transported from Savannah River to Oak Ridge, where it would be blended with an aluminum-metal powder, ...
By developing techniques to precisely control the growth and shape of polymers at the molecular level, researchers hope to make possible the design and synthesis of new materials with biomedical applications. The idea is to mimic the "bottoms-up" approach used in nature, which starts with single mol...
With the Spallation Neutron Source rapidly progressing toward its 2006 completion, SNS staff members will provide the public with an opportunity to visit and learn about the project Friday, April 2.
The open house will last from 4:30 until 6:30 p.m. at the project office at 701 Scarboro Road, Oak...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Jeffrey Wadsworth will deliver his first State of the Laboratory address at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 1, in the main auditorium of the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge.
Tennessee could become a model for the nation when it comes to protecting the public from chemical, biological or radiological releases.Already, sensors that are part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's SensorNet are deployed in Nashville, Knoxville and Oak Ridge, and in other parts of the nati...
More accurate global climate models are in the forecast because of a collaboration between the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Designing highway barriers better able to protect motorists, buildings and their occupants is the driving force behind a project headed by Srdan Simunovic of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Computer Science and Mathematics Division. His task is to fine-tune a Federal Highway Administration computer ...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Temperature Materials Laboratory routinely works with industries toward solving challenging problems. In a recent case, ORNL played matchmaker between a firm with a problem and another with a solution. A North Carolina company, Porvair, came to ORNL for help in e...
