Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Temperature Materials Laboratory routinely works with industries toward solving challenging problems. In a recent case, ORNL played matchmaker between a firm with a problem and another with a solution. A North Carolina company, Porvair, came to ORNL for help in e...
Designing highway barriers better able to protect motorists, buildings and their occupants is the driving force behind a project headed by Srdan Simunovic of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Computer Science and Mathematics Division. His task is to fine-tune a Federal Highway Administration computer ...
Four of the 24 awards to be presented in May for outstanding work in the process of transferring a technology to the commercial marketplace will go to the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Building a "green" mega-facility posed many challenges, but Oak Ridge National Laboratory wants to lead by example, and the effort has paid off with a 2003 Excellence in Construction award from a major contractors association.
The honor recognizes the Department of Energy's ORNL and Sta...
Trees absorb more carbon dioxide when the amount in the atmosphere is higher, but the increase is unlikely to offset the higher levels of CO2, according to results from large-scale experiments conducted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and elsewhere.
Brian Davison has been named director of the Life Sciences Division at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Davison was previously leader of the biochemical engineering research group
A contract for $2.6 million has been awarded to a Nashville company to provide a key component for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Two UT-Battelle corporate fellows from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory ? Tom Wilbanks and David Greene -- have been designated lifetime national associates of the National Academies of Science.
With eight cabinets, 256 processors and 3.2 teraflops (3.2 trillion calculations per second) of computing power, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Cray X1 is the largest of its type in the world. Add that total to the lab's IBM Cheetah with 4.5 teraflops, the SGI Ram with 1.5 teraflops and the IBM Eag...
New computer models have bolstered the case for a theory of what causes a white-dwarf supernova to occur. Under certain conditions, the massive stellar explosions happen when a white dwarf star in a binary system accretes material from its neighbor until, eventually, the big blast occurs. ORNL astro...
