The ability to realistically simulate a range of scientific phenomena, such as supernova explosions and the behavior of materials at the nanoscale, has proven a boon to researchers across the scientific spectrum. 

The startup of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Watts Bar Unit 2 nuclear power plant gave researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors a chance to showcase the predictive power.
Few jobs are more massive than that of building a nuclear power plant, a project that takes years and billions of dollars to complete. But once a new plant is finished, how do engineers know it will operate as designed? In October 2016, the Tennessee Valley Authority began full com...
Dustin Leverman
When Dustin Leverman was growing up, he likely didn’t imagine that his interest in machines would someday turn into a career at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. But since childhood, he has been curious about how things work. “When I was little, my dad would...

Viral Patel: Engineering a better everyday life

Viral Patel came to the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory with the aim of conducting research that would provide benefits to the average consumer, and his work has not disappointed. Patel jumped into three energy efficiency projects almost immediately after start...

ORNL-Lenvio_tech_license_signing_ceremony2

Virginia-based Lenvio Inc. has exclusively licensed a cyber security technology from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory that can quickly detect malicious behavior in software not previously identified as a threat.

Suzanne Parete-Koon
As a child, Suzanne Parete-Koon knew she wanted to understand how things work. That curiosity led to a career first as a computational astrophysicist and later as a user support specialist for one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers—the Cray XK7 Titan, located at the US Depa...
