Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
The way growing piles of sand behave with bursts of energy that result in large and small avalanches has served as a model for fusion researchers seeking insight into the way magnetically confined plasmas behave in fusion reactors. The same research into self-organizing systems has also lent its...
Spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors could be minimized and burn-up potentially doubled if Gamma Engineering's new silicon carbide-based cladding proves viable. Conventional cladding, the tubing that contains the enriched uranium that fuels reactors, becomes brittle and must...
Teams of children from across Tennessee are being sought for the FIRST LEGO League state tournament Saturday, Dec. 4 at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville.
An electricity meter that sometimes runs backwards is just one of the cool aspects of Department of Energy near-zero-energy homes.
Carl Burtis, chief of clinical chemistry in the Health Services Division of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has been granted an honorary doctorate of science degree from Purdue University.
Tuan Vo-Dinh, a UT-Battelle corporate fellow, director of the Center for Advanced Biomedical Photonics, and leader of the Advanced Biomedical Science and Technology Group in the Life Sciences Division of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
Thomas Lee Ferrell of the distinguished research staff in the Life Sciences Division of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been elected a fellow of the American Physical Society.Ferrell was selected for his invention of the photon scanning tunneling microscope. The microsc...
After just two months, a partnership between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Institute at Biltmore has hit full stride in support of entrepreneurs and economic development in Western North Carolina.
Environmental sustainability and reduction of waste at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have helped Battelle Memorial Institute earn a White House Closing the Circle Award for environmental stewardship.
Semiconducting polymers that emit light of different colors for hours instead of minutes could have a bright future in the world of cryptography. What makes this possible is a technique developed by Mike Barnes of the lab's Chemical Sciences Division that produces uniformly oriented ...
