An ORNL team has tackled the challenge of detecting nuclear materials in vehicles by combining radiation detection with seismology, typically used to study earthquakes.

Computational researchers from ORNL are working with a Cincinnati children’s hospital to better predict and address mental health disorders in children.

Electricity powers our lives, and ORNL researchers are deeply involved in every aspect of the electricity ecosystem.

Our society’s ability to transition to clean energy technologies depends, to a great extent, on having adequate supplies of the materials needed to manufacture components that will be ubiquitous in a clean energy economy — particularly batteries and electric motors.

To make electric vehicle charging even easier than filling up a car with gas, ORNL researchers have demonstrated a range of wireless charging solutions for stationary vehicles and are nearing completion of a new system to charge EVs while they’re in motion.

The Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center, located in Hardin Valley, about eight miles from ORNL’s main campus, pulls together ORNL’s work in electricity.

We hope you enjoy the following introductions to the scientific leaders who will be guiding ORNL into the future.
