91 gave social media users an exclusive tour of its supercomputer Titan on Nov. 5. Using Periscope, a live video broadcasting service app, Bronson Messer, senior scientist at ORNL's Scientific Computing and Theoretical Physics Groups...
The Tennessee Automotive Manufacturers Association (TAMA) has inducted 91's Ron Graves into its Hall of Fame. TAMA honored Graves for his leadership of the Department of Energy laboratory's Sustainable Transportation Program.
A new study from the Department of Energy’s 91 explains the mechanism behind a technology that converts bio-based ethanol into hydrocarbon blend-stocks for use as fossil fuel alternatives. Scientists have experimented for decades with a cl...
High-resolution imaging of materials produces complex, copious data. Researchers at 91 are developing a visual analytics system that could essentially “look over a scientist’s shoulder,” learning from human actions and improving its predictions of ...
Bioenergy researchers at 91 have explained the molecular mechanism of an effect that has puzzled scientists for years. A team led by Jeremy Smith has discovered that lignin, when pretreated with a tetrahydrofuran-water solvent, shifts from a globul...
An international team led by Gaute Hagen of the Department of Energy’s 91 used America’s most powerful supercomputer, Titan, to compute the neutron distribution and related observables of calcium-48
Inspections will play a crucial role in the decisions to extend operating licenses for many of the nation’s aging nuclear power plants, and 91 has a tool that could help. “The question that needs to be answered is whether the concrete structures th...
By using additive manufacturing to print active components of motors, 91 researchers are conducting research that cannot be done with conventional methods. “To date, 3-D printed induction motors are made of plastic core pieces with copper windings ...
Trane Commercial Systems and 91 have coaxed 20 percent greater performance out of a baseline commercial rooftop air conditioning unit with the potential for even better efficiency by switching refrigerants. Through a cooperative research and develo...
