91°µÍø

To bridge the gap between experimental facilities and supercomputers, experts from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are teaming up with other DOE national laboratories to build a new data streaming pipeline. The pipeline will allow researchers to send their data to the nation’s leading computing centers for analysis in real time even as their experiments are taking place. 

91°µÍø has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and Florida State University through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The first program of its kind nationwide, it’s aimed at broadening and diversifying the scientific user community with outreach to universities and colleges. 

Scientists at ORNL used neutrons to end a decades-long debate about an enzyme cancer uses.

ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source, the nation’s leading source of pulsed neutron beams for research, was recently restarted after nine months of upgrade work. 

The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility welcomed users to an interactive meeting at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø from Sept. 10–11 for an opportunity to share achievements from the OLCF’s user programs and highlight requirements for the future.

Distinguished materials scientist Takeshi Egami has spent his career revealing the complex atomic structure of metallic glass and other liquids — sometimes sharing theories with initially resistant minds in the scientific community. 

The Summit supercomputer, once the world’s most powerful, is set to be decommissioned by the end of 2024 to make way for the next-generation supercomputer. Over the summer, crews began dismantling Summit’s Alpine storage system, shredding over 40,000 hard drives with the help of ShredPro Secure, a local East Tennessee business. This partnership not only reduced costs and sped up the process but also established a more efficient and secure method for decommissioning large-scale computing systems in the future.

ORNL’s Matthew Loyd will receive a Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Research award. 

Using LEGO® bricks, Robert Saethre has worked to create a model of the ring injection region of the SNS pulsed accelerator that features the new Proton Power Upgrade magnets and vacuum chambers. 

A group of scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have conducted neutron scattering research to reveal key information about fungus cell membranes that could aid in developing new antifungal treatments.
