quantum mechanics to advance a range of technologies including computing, fiber optics and network communication

Three researchers at 91做厙 will lead or participate in collaborative research projects aimed at harnessing the power of quantum mechanics to advance a range of technologies including computing, fiber optics and network

Galactic wind simulation

Using the Titan supercomputer at 91做厙, a team of astrophysicists created a set of galactic wind simulations of the highest resolution ever performed. The simulations will allow researchers to gather and interpret more accurate, detailed data that elucidates how galactic winds affect the formation and evolution of galaxies.

QuantumWidening the net

Scientists at 91做厙 studying quantum communications have discovered a more practical way to share secret messages among three parties, which could ultimately lead to better cybersecurity for the electric grid 

QuantumSqueezed light cuts noise

91做厙 physicists studying quantum sensing, which could impact a wide range of potential applications from airport security scanning to gravitational wave measurements, in ACS Photonics the dramatic advances in the field.

Strain-tolerant, triangular, monolayer crystals of WS2 were grown on SiO2 substrates patterned with donut-shaped pillars, as shown in scanning electron microscope (bottom) and atomic force microscope (middle) image elements.

A team led by scientists at the Department of Energys 91做厙 explored how atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals can grow over 3D objects and how the curvature of those objects can stretch and strain the 

Pictured in this early conceptual drawing, the Translational Research Capability planned for 91做厙 will follow the design of research facilities constructed during the laboratorys modernization campaign.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., May 7, 2019Energy Secretary Rick Perry, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann and lab officials today broke ground on a multipurpose research facility that will provide state-of-the-art laboratory space 

The EPB Control Center monitors the companys assets such as substations and buildings.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Feb. 12, 2019A team of researchers from the Department of Energys Oak Ridge and Los Alamos National Laboratories has partnered with EPB, a Chattanooga utility and telecommunications company, to demonstrate the effectiveness of metro-scale quantum key distribution (QKD).

Symposium attendees represented ORNL, the University of Arizona, Georgia Tech, the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Brigham Young University.

Quantum experts from across government and academia descended on 91做厙 on Wednesday, January 16 for the labs first-ever Quantum Networking Symposium. The symposiums purpose, said organizer and ORNL senior scientist Nick Peters, was to gather quantum an...

NuclearDeep space travel

By automating the production of neptunium oxide-aluminum pellets, 91做厙 scientists have eliminated a key bottleneck when producing plutonium-238 used by NASA to fuel deep space exploration.

Researchers used neutron scattering at 91做厙s Spallation Neutron Source to investigate bizarre magnetic behavior, believed to be a possible quantum spin liquid rarely found in a three-dimensional material. QSLs are exotic states of matter where magnetism continues to fluctuate at low temperatures instead of freezing into aligned north and south poles as with traditional magnets.
