Cell death, or apoptosis, is a naturally occurring and necessary biological process. In apoptosis, the 92 amino acid BAX protein inserts itself into mitochondrial membranes
Carbon trapped in the top few meters of permafrost soils across nearly 19 million square kilometers of northern regions could be released at a rate of about two to five times greater than previous estimates. This is the conclusion of 41 international scientists who publish on various aspects of perm...
To comply with the mandate to increase the use of alternative fuels, the Coast Guard has enlisted the help of Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers with expertise in fuels and engines. "The Coast Guard has decided to use biobutanol rather than ethanol to mix with gasoline in their smaller craft,...
A clearer understanding of magnetic interactions in insulating materials can help in developing magnets for motors in electric vehicles and can enhance the performance of magnets in many other devices. Researchers expected that introducing atoms of a nonmagnetic material into a magnetic insulator wo...
Technology developed at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and other Oak Ridge facilities is making a difference among U.S. industries, recently released statistics show.
Dr. Fang Peng, a researcher with the Engineering Technology Division of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), recently received the First Prize Best Paper Award of the Industrial Power Converter Committee at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers/ Ind...
Tim Myrick has been named director of the Environmental Programs office at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).Myrick is responsible for the interface between ORNL and Environmental Management programs administered by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems for DOE.
Los Angeles County and the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are working together to solve water pollution problems caused by urban storm water.Through a five-month cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA), ORNL researchers will use their expertise in e...
What's the R-value in your walls? The answer used to be simply the R-value of your wall insulation. For standard wood frame construction, determining R-value, or resistance to heat flow, based solely on wall insulation was not too far off.
But because of the increasing use of metal frame systems ...
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has signed a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with American Magnetics Inc. of Oak Ridge to produce a new superconducting electric current lead for powering cryogenic systems, which operate at temperatures of...
