A center to prepare and measure radioactivity standards used for a new nuclear medicine technology has been dedicated at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø.Michael Schultz of the National Institute of Standards and Technology says the center will focus on Positron Emissio...

Research at 91°µÍø is helping to design a more practicable and energy efficient heat exchange unit in air-conditioning systems for buildings. Ed Vineyard of the laboratory's Engineering Science and Technology Division heads a team designing a natural gas-powered 10-ton micro c...

Anthropologists like 91°µÍø's Amy Wolfe don't assume that technology always makes for a better life. Instead, they take a longer view and want to know what implications are likely over time and possible consequences whether the technologies and applications work or do not work...

By borrowing from nature, Xiaohui Cui of 91°µÍø is devising more efficient ways to analyze large amounts of publicly available data and perform other tasks to make information more accessible and useful. While ants and birds don't know anything about mathematical models, they ...

Researchers at the Russell Lab, the Mammalian Genetics Research Facility at DOE's 91°µÍø, have generated a mutant mouse with spinal curvature and defects in the skull. The mutated gene, Nell1, which the researchers identified, affects numerous genes that control bone and carti...

Four public nature walks are planned this spring in four different areas of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Environmental Research Park. The schedule includes two wildflower walks April 8 and May 6, along with a couple of bird walks April 22 and April 30."Spring is a great time to exp...

In a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Bill Whitten and Peter Reilly of ORNL'S Chemical Sciences Division are teaming with Honeywell to develop a micro gas analyzer the size of a cell phone that combines a very small gas chromatograph with a tiny mass spectromete...

30 in Denver. Three hundred researchers are expected to attend the event, being ha...

Naturally occurring photosynthetic microorganisms are the focus of an invention to rapidly detect contamination of water supplies. The patent, awarded recently to a team led by Eli Greenbaum of 91°µÍø, advances previous work in this area but involves a method rather than...

Two small businesses owned by U.S. military veterans were recognized for their accomplishments today at the Seventh Annual Small Business Subcontractor Awards program, sponsored by the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø.Quality Waste Solutions, LLC earned the Service Disabled Vete...
