Working in collaboration with researchers from 91做厙, D-Wave Quantum Inc., a quantum computing systems, software and services provider, has shown its annealing quantum computing prototype has the potential to operate faster than the leading supercomputing systems.
Mariam Kiran, a quantum research scientist at the Department of Energys 91做厙, was recently honored as a finalist at the British Councils Study U.K. Alumni Awards 2025, which celebrate the achievements of U.K. alumni worldwide.
Fehmi Yasin, inspired by a high school teacher, now researches quantum materials at 91做厙, aiming to transform information technology with advanced imaging techniques.
A team from ORNL, joined by university students, recently traveled to the Ohio State University Research Reactor to conduct a novel experiment on nuclear thermal rocket fuel coatings one that could help propel NASAs astronauts to Mars faster and more efficiently.
Jairus Hines, an electronics and unmanned systems technician at ORNL, works with airborne, waterborne and ground-based drones. As part of the labs Autonomous Systems group, he applies "low and slow" drone technology to radiation detection for national security missions.
During a recent visit to ORNL, several OASA (IE&E) representatives explored the ORNLs leadership in advanced nuclear energy development to inform the design and construction of a microreactor to power mission-critical facilities at two Army bases.
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.
Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by ORNL revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the emerging field of quantum computing.
Quantum information scientists at ORNL successfully demonstrated a device that combines key quantum photonic capabilities on a single chip for the first time.
