ORNL researchers recognized as among world’s most cited
Cottonwoods, hybrid poplars and aspens could play a role in improving the environment, displacing imported oil and creating domestic jobs, but first scientists from the Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and around the world have to sequence the Populus genome.Trees like cottonwood...
Chemists at ORNL are the first to build a three-dimensional chain of spherical polymer particles with unique optical and physical properties they believe will be useful for probing properties of materials. The finding, to be published in Physical Review Letters, represents a big step toward fabricat...
ORNL's 3,500 strains of mice made at ORNL can be shared for studies among the seven partners in the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium because researchers were able to develop a way to transfer mouse stocks via embryo. Researchers could not simply send existing mice at ORNL to the other institutions ...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are testing a new wall system utilizing an extremely lightweight concrete building material that could be used in wall systems of future construction of homes and businesses.Researchers at ORNL's Buildings Technology Center, working with TVA and Babb Intern...
Scientists studying vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, traffic management and other transportation issues will now have improved access to state-of-the-art laboratories at the National Transportation Research Center.
The NTRC, located along Hardin Valley Road near Pellissippi Parkway in W...
Herb Mook is the recipient of the 2001 Director's Award for Outstanding Accomplishment in Science and Technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Mook received the laboratory's most prestigious scientific award at UT-Battelle's annual Awards Night ceremony. Mook was nominated for his cutting-edge re...
Thomas Mason, associate laboratory director of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Mason was cited for "distinguished contributions to condensed matter physics using neutron...
Construction began today for a state-of-the-art genomics facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that will help researchers better understand gene function and disease by studying the more than 60,000 mice that will be housed there.Scientists at the $13.9 million Laboratory for Comparative and Fu...
Ward Plummer, distinguished scientist in Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Solid State Division and distinguished professor of physics at the University of Tennessee, has earned the prestigious 2001 Medard W. Welch Award from the American Vacuum Society. The award is the highest honor presented by the...
