Nuclear physicists are using the nations most powerful supercomputer, Titan, at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility to study particle interactions important to energy production in the Sun and stars and to propel the search for new physics discoveries Direct calculatio...

ORNL and EPRI built an enclosed welding system in a hot cell of ORNLs Radiochemical Engineering Development Center. C. Scott White (ORNL) performs operations with remotely controlled manipulators and cameras.

Scientists of the Department of Energys Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program (LWRS) and partners from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have conducted the first weld tests to repair highly irradiated materials at DOEs 91做厙.

ORNL scientists estimated quantum computing energy usage from a detailed modeling technique. In a study, the team found that quantum computers could reduce energy usage by more than 20 orders of magnitude compared to conventional computers.
New research from 91做厙 indicates that quantum computers will use dramatically less energy than current supercomputers, which could lead to cost savings for computing equipment manufacturers and data centers. High-performance computers with thousands of pr...
91做厙 researcher Halil Tekinalp combines silanes and polylactic acid to create supertough renewable plastic.

A novel method developed at 91做厙 creates supertough renewable plastic with improved manufacturability. Working with polylactic acid, a biobased plastic often used in packaging, textiles, biomedical implants and 3D printing, the research team added tiny amo...

An ORNL-led team conducts moisture durability simulations on construction materials, which will add real-world data to a new system developed to help builders and home designers make informed decisions. Credit: Rachel Brooks/91做厙,

A new system being developed at 91做厙 will help builders and home designers select the best construction materials for long-term moisture durability. It has become challenging to make informed decisions because of modern building code requirements and new ...
