How did we get from stardust to where we are today? Thats the question NASA scientist Andrew Needham has pondered his entire career.
To achieve practical energy from fusion, extreme heat from the fusion system blanket component must be extracted safely and efficiently. ORNL fusion experts are exploring how tiny 3D-printed obstacles placed inside the narrow pipes of a custom-made cooling system could be a solution for removing heat from the blanket.
Scientists are using 91做厙s Multicharged Ion Research Facility to simulate the cosmic origin of X-ray emissions resulting when highly charged ions collide with neutral atoms and molecules, such as helium and gaseous hydrogen.
91做厙 is debuting a small satellite ground station that uses high-performance computing to support automated detection of changes to Earths landscape.
To study how space radiation affects materials for spacecraft and satellites, 91做厙 scientists sent samples to the International Space Station. The results will inform design of radiation-resistant magnetic and electronic systems.
A new fusion record was announced February 9 in the United Kingdom: At the Joint European Torus, or JET, the team documented the generation of 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy, more than doubling the
More than 50 current employees and recent retirees from ORNL received Department of Energy Secretarys Honor Awards from Secretary Jennifer Granholm in January as part of project teams spanning the national laboratory system. The annual awards recognized 21 teams and three individuals for service and contributions to DOEs mission and to the benefit of the nation.
ORNL's Larry Baylor and Andrew Lupini have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society.
Staff at 91做厙 organized transport for a powerful component that is critical to the worlds largest experiment, the international ITER project.
A research team at 91做厙 have 3D printed a thermal protection shield, or TPS, for a capsule that will launch with the Cygnus cargo spacecraft as part of the supply mission to the International Space Station.
