A microbial community thriving under bizarre natural conditions in California could be a gold mine to researchers in their quest to understand the complex biological relationships and how these inner workings might apply on a grander scale.
Research in high-efficiency clean combustion technology at Oak Ridge National Laboratory may lead to alternatives to traditional diesel and spark ignition engine combustion processes that would result in cleaner emissions and improve engine efficiency more than 50 percent. ORNL researchers are worki...
A newly isolated group of microbes holds great promise for removing nitrate and immobilizing uranium in contaminated groundwater and soil. Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Miami University and Stanford University enriched a microbial culture capable of removing nitrate and found that ...
Some of the world's leading experts in sensors, instrumentation and measurement techniques will be at the Hilton Hotel in Knoxville May 8-12 for the 51st International Instrumentation Symposium. Included in the five-day event executive meetings and a dinner are scheduled for May 8 will be the pr...
Biologists trying to identify microorganisms dominating various communities in environmental samples have a new tool called a community genome array. This glass slide, developed by a team from Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Environmental Sciences Division, is dotted with labeled whole-genome probes...
Relief from soaring prices at the gas pump could come in the form of corncobs, cornstalks, switchgrass and other types of biomass, according to a joint feasibility study for the departments of Agriculture and Energy.
The recently completed Oak Ridge National Laboratory report outlines a national ...
The state of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory together are setting a new standard for environmental responsibility and energy efficiency for Tennessee public buildings.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are setting up for some cataclysmic number crunching.
Data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider's PHENIX detector, located at Brookhaven Laboratory in New York, will be piped to East Tennessee, where ORNL physicists will search for a hand...
A director and scientific director have been named for the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS), a nanoscale research facility that is in its final stages of construction at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
