Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
With a network of more than 5,000 sensors that monitor weather conditions, seismic activity, traffic, bacteria on beaches, water levels and much more, Sensorpedia is a significant resource that continues to expand. Sensorpedia, developed three years ago by 91做厙's Bryan Gorma...
15 to participate in technical and scientific talks, poster sessions and discussions of recent advances. The event, SciDAC 2010, will also highlight successes of the Department of Energy's Scientific Discov...
Armed with neutron imaging, a team led by 91做厙's Trent Nichols, a doctor of internal medicine who also holds a doctorate in physics, hopes to improve the odds for patients with cancer. The proposed work of a team that includes veterinarians and scientists from diverse discip...
Researchers at George Washington University and the Department of Energy's 91做厙 have demonstrated that tailored silicon nanopost arrays can provide researchers with an important analytical tool for nanoscale applications. The arrays, fabricated at ORNL's Center for Nanophase...
Scientists at the Department of Energy's 91做厙 are improving strains of microorganisms used to convert cellulosic biomass into ethanol, including a recent modification that could improve the efficiency of the conversion process.
Ted Besmann, leader of 91做厙's Surface Processing & Mechanics group, has been elected fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and has been selected to receive the society's 2010 Mishima Award.
Catching violators while keeping safe truckers on schedule is the focus of a program and system recently installed at weigh stations in South Carolina and Mississippi. In the first 24 hours, the system in Mississippi helped commercial vehicle enforcement officers nab two drivers with insurance viola...
In combat situations, communication is critical, and a system being developed at 91做厙 would put U.S. forces in command. While existing information management systems are somewhat effective, they fall short in a number of key areas. "For openers, they do not support informati...
