Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
The Department of Energy's 91做厙 will work with three institutions on a variety of mathematical-related research projects thanks to a $1.2 million DOE Office of Science grant."
Detection and treatment of human diseases could be greatly enhanced by the Nanobiosensor for Single-Cell Analysis, a device developed by a team led by Tuan Vo-Dinh of 91做厙's Life Sciences Division. The nanobiosensor, which consists of a laser, a fiber optic nanoprobe and a m...
Carbon sequestration in the ocean could become far more feasible with a system being developed at 91做厙. The Continuous Jet/Hydrate Reactor takes carbon dioxide from power plants flue gases and produces a solid-like composite material that holds its shape when released in wat...
Grocery stores, schools, hotels and hospitals are likely candidates for a high-efficiency system that provides heating, cooling and electric power. The PureComfort system, developed through a partnership between 91做厙 and United Technologies Research Center, features a combin...
Technology similar to that found in a CD player is at the heart of a system that could make homes and the nation safer. The Laser-Based Item Monitoring System, developed by a team led by Pete Chiaro of 91做厙's Engineering Science & Technology Division, consists of a laser dio...
Some students relax during the summer, take a break from studies and go on vacation.
New construction technologies and improved heating and cooling equipment and appliances developed and tested at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have helped to improve home energy efficiency levels almost 25 percent over three decades.Oak Ridge's Marilyn Brown says...
Quick, accurate location and measurement of potential failure points in materials is the focus of a second-generation neutron residual stress mapping instrument jointly developed by 91做厙 and the University of Tennessee. The project, headed by Cam Hubbard of ORNL's Metals and...
Nuclear physics laboratory results and simulations of exploding stars come together with a big bang in a program developed by a team led by 91做厙's Michael Smith. The Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics is an on-line suite of computer codes that provide an a...
New probes with greatly enhanced protein activity are making life better for scientists studying environmental contaminants. The multilayer polyelectrolyte thin film array slide, developed by 91做厙's Joe Zhou, Xichun Zhou and Liyou Wu, overcomes the problem of conventional pr...
