Artificial intelligence tools secure tomorrow’s electric grid
Looking toward improved batteries for charging electric cars and storing energy from renewable but intermittent solar and wind, scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first high-performance, nanostructured solid electrolyte for more energy-dense lithium ion batteries.
Ships of tomorrow could glide through the water with less energy because of a technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Pittsburgh. By coating grooves called riblets with superhydrophobic material, researchers can encase ship hulls in a pinned layer of air, allowing...
Many of the nation's foremost authorities on cyber security will gather in Oak Ridge Jan. 8-12 for the inaugural Cyber Sciences Laboratory workshop. The event will feature 10 plenary keynotes, including Richard Clarke, author of "CYBER WAR: The Next Threat to National Security and What to do About i...
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...
Three researchers from the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have won a best paper award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) International Symposium on Intelligence and Systems.
