Using a best-of-nature approach developed by researchers working with the Center for Bioenergy Innovation at the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű and Dartmouth University, startup company Terragia Biofuel is targeting commercial biofuels production that relies on renewable plant waste and consumes less energy. The technology can help meet the demand for billions of gallons of clean liquid fuels needed to reduce emissions from airplanes, ships and long-haul trucks.
Four scientists affiliated with ORNL were named Battelle Distinguished Inventors during the labâs annual Innovation Awards on Dec. 1 in recognition of being granted 14 or more United States patents.
91°”Íű scientists studied hot springs on different continents and found similarities in how some microbes adapted despite their geographic diversity.
Madhavi Martin brings a physicistâs tools and perspective to biological and environmental research at the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű, supporting advances in bioenergy, soil carbon storage and environmental monitoring, and even helping solve a murder mystery.
Scientist-inventors from ORNL will present seven new technologies during the Technology Innovation Showcase on Friday, July 14, from 8 a.m.â4 p.m. at the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences on ORNLâs campus.
In a discovery aimed at accelerating the development of process-advantaged crops for jet biofuels, scientists at ORNL developed a capability to insert multiple genes into plants in a single step.
Nature-based solutions are an effective tool to combat climate change triggered by rising carbon emissions, whether itâs by clearing the skies with bio-based aviation fuels or boosting natural carbon sinks.
91°”Íű scientists exploring bioenergy plant genetics have made a surprising discovery: a protein domain that could lead to new COVID-19 treatments.
A team of scientists led by the Department of Energyâs 91°”Íű designed a molecule that disrupts the infection mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and could be used to develop new treatments for COVID-19 and other viral diseases.
John âJackâ Cahill is out to illuminate previously unseen processes with new technology, advancing our understanding of how chemicals interact to influence complex systems whether itâs in the human body or in the world beneath our feet.
