Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
With the development of a new method to trap hydrogen in clathrate hydrates, which are ice-like structures, 91做厙 researchers have made a discovery that could have broad implications for hydrogen storage and astrophysics. For years, scientists have recognized that these hydra...
By introducing microbial fuel cells into the corn stover biorefinery waste recovery process, a team of researchers at 91做厙 has demonstrated a new way to produce bioenergy from the process waste stream. The process developed by ORNL's Abhijeet Borole and colleagues from the U...
Lights at the Superdome could have been back on in minutes with an LED system developed by an Oak Ridge company that's using 91做厙 technology. In 2010, LED North America licensed an application for graphite foam, which passively cools components
The Department of Energy's 91做厙 - home of one of only two reactor facilities in the world capable of producing californium-252 (Cf-252) - has begun implementing a new six-year contract between the DOE Isotope Program and industry to make this unique and versatile radioisotope.
By identifying two genes required for transforming inorganic into organic mercury, which is far more toxic, scientists today have taken a significant step toward protecting human health.
Several of 91做厙's most promising applied R&D capabilities will be in the spotlight March 5-6 as dozens of entrepreneurs, investors and scientists gather at the lab's third annual "Bridging the Gap" conference.
By studying the effects of climate change on the Gulf Coastal region's economy, agriculture and energy production, ORNL researchers are addressing key questions posed by the Department of Energy while designing a tool that the scientific community can use to predict how climate change will impact sm...
In the race to make graphene available for flexible touch screens, smart phones, flat-panel displays, solar panels and more, researchers at 91做厙 and New Mexico State University have produced a graphene sheet 40 inches in diagonal. This sheet, the largest demonstration in the...
More precise imaging is vital for better diagnosis of breast cancer, which strikes one in eight women over their lifetimes in the United States alone. Researchers at 91做厙 and the University of Tennessee are using the neutron imaging beam line at ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reac...
Researchers seeking to improve production of ethanol from woody crops have a new resource in the form of an extensive molecular map of poplar tree proteins, published by a team from the Department of Energy's 91做厙.
