Artificial intelligence tools secure tomorrow’s electric grid
Microscopic images that are now achievable at single-nanometer scales usually depict advanced materials or other ordered, inorganic substances. However, a team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (S.V.Kalinin ) and North Carolina State University (A. Gruverman) have applied scanning pr...
Miniature optical sensors developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory could speed the development of fuel cells to power vehicles, buildings and machines. The ORNL sensors are extremely accurate, reliable and fast-responding, making them ideal for next-generation fuel cells, according to Steve Alliso...
New products made of stronger components that are lighter in weight, more energy efficient and have an extended use life may be possible through a technology that can alter the characteristics of steel and other materials. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and ...
Logs confiscated by police at a Texas murder scene and the work of a scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory may help put a killer behind bars. Using a technique called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Madhavi Martin obtained "chemical fingerprints" from a partially burned log at the crime s...
Stan David, an Oak Ridge National Laboratory corporate fellow, has earned a 2001 Fellow Award from the Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS).David, leader of the Materials Joining and Nondestructive Testing Group at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), direc...
Three Federal Laboratory Consortium Awards for technology transfer in the Southeast have been presented to the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the transfer of laboratory-developed technologies to the private sector.Receiving the awards in Houston were Ashok Cho...
The Department of Energy's (DOE) UT-Battelle presented its annual Awards Night honors to outstanding employees tonight during a gala Awards Night celebration at Knoxville's Hyatt Regency.Elias Greenbaum of the Chemical Technology Division was named Scientist of the Year for "sustained and pioneerin...
A total of $3 million to encourage distributed generation for industrial power production has been awarded to eight bidders by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)."The goal of this effort is to encourage industry toward the concept of distributed generation," said ...
The Department of Energy (DOE) has received a plan designed to provide long-term financial security for DOE's American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE). Submitted by UT-Battelle at DOE's request, the plan also calls for expanding the museum's role in preserving the history of Oak Ridge.Opened in...
Nano-transistors 10 times smaller than conventional ones and being developed at ORNL could change the complexion of the electronics industry. Transistors, which can be used as amplifiers, detectors or switches, are integral parts of computers, telephones and virtually all electronic components. Trad...
