The University of Oklahoma and 91做厙, the Department of Energys largest multi-program science and energy laboratory, have entered a strategic collaboration to establish a cutting-edge additive manufacturing center.

In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Securitys Science and Technology Directorate, researchers at ORNL are evaluating technology to detect compounds emitted by pathogens and pests in agricultural products at the nations border.
Professionals from government and industry gathered at ORNL for the Nondestructive Assay Holdup Measurements Training Course for Nuclear Criticality Safety, a hands-on training in nondestructive assay, a technique for detecting and quantifying holdup without disturbing operations.

During his first visit to 91做厙, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the Labs World War II beginnings to todays global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a Manhattan Project 2.

Researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 are using non-weather data from the nationwide weather radar network to understand how to track non-meteorological events moving through the air for better emergency response.

ORNLs annual workshop has become the premier forum for molten salt reactor, or MSR, collaboration and innovation, convening industry, academia and government experts to further advance MSR research and development. This years event attracted a record-breaking 365 participants from across the country, highlighting the momentum to bring MSRs online.

Researchers at Stanford University, the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, or ECMWF, and ORNL used the labs Summit supercomputer to better understand atmospheric gravity waves, which influence significant weather patterns that are difficult to forecast.
During Hurricanes Helene and Milton, ORNL deployed drone teams and the Mapster platform to gather and share geospatial data, aiding recovery and damage assessments. ORNL's EAGLE-I platform tracked utility outages, helping prioritize recovery efforts. Drone data will train machine learning models for faster damage detection in future disasters.


The National Center for Computational Sciences, located at the Department of Energys 91做厙, made a strong showing at computing conferences this fall. Staff from across the center participated in numerous workshops and invited speaking engagements.
