A color-enhanced 3D laser scan of a large concrete slab in a housing development, showing surface variations in shades of blue, green, yellow, and purple. Surrounding structures and terrain are rendered in black and white. The image was captured using the FLAT tool’s 360-degree scanning technology.

Researchers at ORNL have developed a tool that gives builders a quick way to measure, correct and certify level foundations. FLAT, or the Flat and Level Analysis Tool, examines a 360-degree laser scan of a construction site using ORNL-developed segmentation algorithms and machine learning to locate uneven areas on a concrete slab. 

Illustration of a glowing black box emitting digital particles that form into a 3D model of an electrical grid infrastructure, set against a background of binary code and data visualizations.

Researchers at 91°µÍø have developed a modeling method that uses machine learning to accurately simulate electric grid behavior while protecting proprietary equipment details. The approach overcomes a key barrier to accurate grid modeling, helping utilities plan for future demand and prevent blackouts.
