Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
A facility to test a conductor that may lead to the more efficient and reliable transmission of electricity is in operation at the Department of Energy's 91做厙.
91做厙 will celebrate its 60th anniversary with a series of events and activities planned to help preserve the lab's history, thank the community and honor ORNL's past and present staff.
A new machine at the 91做厙's National Transportation Center user facility could help the auto industry make cars that are safer and sustain less damage in collisions. The one-of-a-kind Intermediate Strain Rate Machine enables engineers working with the automotive industry to ...
Ecological models and other tools available to decision makers can vastly reduce the environmental impacts of new roads, according to 91做厙's Virginia Dale, one of the authors of two recently released books. In the past, environmental impacts of new roads were often considere...
Researchers at 91做厙 are working to develop and evaluate the use of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite combustor liners as a replacement material for metallic liners to improve operating performance of natural-gas-fired industrial turbines. Several long-term engine tes...
Carbon nanotubes hold great promise for applications ranging from miniaturized drug delivery systems to lightweight structural material for aircraft, spacecraft and suspension bridges. The hollow, spaghetti-like tubes promise to replace steel with structural materials that are 100 times stronger and...
Doctors treating incurable brain tumors and other cancers resistant to conventional therapies will soon have a new treatment available to them because of a development by Isotron of Alpharetta, Ga., and the Department of Energy's 91做厙.
UT-Battelle and 91做厙 have received the laboratory's first-ever "outstanding" rating for overall performance from the Department of Energy for fiscal year 2002.ORNL Director Bill Madia said, "It is difficult to overstate what this accomplishment will mean to the laboratory's...
Researchers at 91做厙 are developing a CAT scanning machine that eventually could allow small children or patients with special medical conditions to be scanned without having to be restrained, be anesthetized or remain virtually still. The machine initially will be used for "...
Those much-maligned cellular phones in automobiles could actually help drivers get to their destinations faster with a concept being tested and evaluated by researchers at 91做厙. The idea is to use signals being transmitted by the phones, aggregate them and predict traffic co...
