Hunter Andrews’ “light” topic was one of the judge’s choice winners in the lab’s annual Your Science in a Nutshell competition.
The division Jim Placke oversees is brand new.
But the mission it serves has been steadily growing for years.
An ORNL project is focused on harnessing the power of very low-energy electrons for an isotope-based cancer treatment.
It was a good run for Ethan Coffey.
Coffey, 39, won the 2022 Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon March 27 — just as he did in 2021, and in 2015.
Earlier this year, ISED's Dr. Susan Hogle talked to reporter Vinay Simlot of WBIR-TV, Channel 10, about how ORNL is recovering isotopes that are valuable in producing promising new treatments for cancer. The story aired January 26.
More than 50 current employees and recent retirees from ORNL received Department of Energy Secretary’s Honor Awards from Secretary Jennifer Granholm in January as part of project teams spanning the national laboratory system.
Three ORNL staff members have been chosen for DOE's 2022 cohort of the Oppenheimer Science and Energy Leadership Program, a series of sessions and visits that provide the selected individuals with an in-depth understanding of the DOE system of national
The Department of Energy has recognized ORNL and others with a high-level award for their roles in making possible the Perseverance Rover that launched to Mars last year.
It’s elemental — scientists agree that the periodic table is incomplete. And when it comes to unveiling parts of the periodic table yet undiscovered, ORNL is doing some heavy lifting.
