Construction and installation has been completed recently on the newest instrument at the Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The Single-Crystal Diffractometer, also known as TOPAZ, will greatly expand the range of materials explored in chemistry, earth...
Information sharing technologies at the heart of Web 2.0 are being integrated into an Oak Ridge National Laboratory freight tracking system that could revolutionize the industry. Most importantly, IntelligentFreight will add a level of communication and safety beyond what is in place today, accordin...
For the first time, climate scientists from across the country have successfully incorporated the nitrogen cycle into global simulations for climate change, questioning previous assumptions regarding carbon feedback and potentially helping to refine model forecasts about global warming.
The U.S. ITER Project Office at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has awarded two contracts totaling $33.6 million for 8,270 km of niobium tin strand and 4,795 km of copper strand for the Toroidal Field Conductor, a major component of U.S. contributions to the ITER Project. ITER's Toroidal Field M...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory will host the fourth annual Global Venture Challenge on March 24-26, 2010.
Global Venture Challenge 2010 is a unique educational event which brings together graduate student teams around the world to present entrepreneurial compa...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided tours of the laboratory for more than 5,000 visitors in 2009, an increase of nearly 50 percent over the previous year. The number of visitors to the laboratory was the largest since the world's fair in 1982.
Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 1, 2009 Mercury pollution is a persistent problem in the environment. Human activity has lead to increasingly large accumulations of the toxic chemical, especially in waterways, where fish and shellfish tend to act as sponges for the heavy metal. A new discovery by scienti...
The Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), already the world's most powerful facility for pulsed neutron scattering science, is now the first pulsed spallation neutron source to break the one-megawatt barrier.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Thom Mason told the Governor's Economic Development Conference in Nashville that clean energy companies appear to have a bright future in Tennessee. "The industries that are built up around clean energy activity - whether its renewable, solar, changes in ...
Thin-layer chromatography, a lab technique for separating mixtures, produces high-resolution separations faster and at lower costs than other methods. But TLC doesn't work well with mass spectrometry, which uses other separation methods such as higher performance liquid chromatography to identify or...
