Scientists at ORNL have invented a coating that could dramatically reduce friction in common load-bearing systems with moving parts, from vehicle drive trains to wind

An innovative and sustainable chemistry developed at ORNL for capturing carbon dioxide has been licensed to Holocene, a Knoxville-based startup focused on designing and building plants that remove carbon dioxide

ORNLās electromagnetic isotope separator, or EMIS, made history in 2018 when it produced 500 milligrams of the rare isotope ruthenium-96, unavailable anywhere else in the world.

A method using augmented reality to create accurate visual representations of ionizing radiation, developed at ORNL, has been licensed by , a firm that creates advanced simulation tools to train the nationās radiation control workforce.

Growing up in suburban Upper East Tennessee, Layla Marshall didnāt see a lot of STEM opportunities for children.
āI like encouraging young people to get involved in the kinds of things Iāve been doing in my career,ā said Marshall. āI like seeing the students achieve their goals. Itās fun to watch them get excited about learning new things and teaching the robot to do things that they didnāt know it could do until they tried it.ā
Marshall herself has a passion for learning new things.

A series of new classes at Pellissippi State Community College will offer students a new career path ā and a national laboratory a pipeline of workers who have the skills needed for its own rapidly growing programs.

A technology developed at ORNL and used by the U.S. Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, or NAVWAR, to test the capabilities of commercial security tools has been licensed to cybersecurity firm Penguin Mustache to create its Evasive.ai platform. The company was founded by the technologyās creator, former ORNL scientist Jared M. Smith, and his business partner, entrepreneur Brandon Bruce.

With larger, purer shipments on a more frequent basis, 91°µĶų is moving closer to routine production of promethium-147. Thatās thanks in part to the application of some specific research performed a decade ago for a completely different project.

U2opia Technology, a consortium of technology and administrative executives with extensive experience in both industry and defense, has exclusively licensed two technologies from ORNL that offer a new method for advanced cybersecurity monitoring in real time.

Three scientists from the Department of Energyās 91°µĶų have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
