Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
Jeffrey S. Vetter of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate has received the ORNL Director’s Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology.
The Director’s Awards were presented by ORNL Director...
Philip Bingham has two pieces of advice for researchers new to Oak Ridge National Laboratory: (1) develop a skill set that can be applied to multiple research areas, and (2) get out and meet folks across the lab. “The favorite part of my work is that I’ve done a lot of very diffe...
Researchers with the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered that communities of microbes living in and around poplar tree roots are ten times more diverse than the human microbiome and produce novel molecules that could be useful as antibiotics, anti-cancer drugs, or for agricultural applications.
Three researchers from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS). Fellows of the APS are recognized for their exceptional contributions to the physics enterprise in outstanding resear...
Lou Qualls, reactor technology integration lead at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named the energy research and development industry’s representative on the Tennessee Energy Policy Council. Speaker of the Tennessee House of Repres...
Flora Meilleur, a researcher at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected by her peers to be secretary of the Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA).
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a 120-kilowatt wireless charging system for vehicles—providing six times the power of previous ORNL technology and a big step toward charging times that rival the
Scientists studying a valuable, but vulnerable, species of poplar have identified the genetic mechanism responsible for the species’ inability to resist a pervasive and deadly disease. Their finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could lead to more successful hybrid poplar varieties for increased biofuels and forestry production and protect native trees against infection.
Emory D. Collins, senior technical advisor for Advanced Fuel Cycles and Isotope Production at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected a fellow of the American Nuclear Society for his contributions to the advancement of nuclear science and technology.
