Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
Nancy J. Dudney, Lonnie J. Love and David C. Radford have been named Corporate Fellows at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Using remote sensing data, researchers can efficiently determine optimum sites for solar power plants, according to a study led by Olufemi Omitaomu of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. With the target of solar energy providing up to 35 percent of the nation’s total energy requirements by...
Through some nifty system coordination that limits the number of commercial rooftop air conditioning units that run simultaneously, a technique developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers can provide savings of thousands of dollars per year. Researchers expect the system, i...
Tomorrow’s clothes dryers could use high-frequency mechanical vibrations instead of heat to extract moisture as a cold mist, dramatically reducing drying time and energy use. Oak Ridge National Laboratory and GE Appliances researchers are developing a prototype that uses ultrasonic tr...
Airport runways could be highly visible under even the worst conditions with a lighting technology being developed by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The prototype fixture features infrared and white light generators packaged in the industry standard PAR 38 configuration ...
Mariappan (Parans) Paranthaman, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named a fellow of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS).
The U.S. Department of Energy has named Brian Wirth, a joint University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory appointee, an Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award winner for 2014.
Four researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are among 44 scientists selected by DOE's Office of Science to receive funding under the department's Early Career Research Program.
Law enforcement and national security agencies could benefit from an Oak Ridge National Laboratory technology able to determine a person’s age, race and gender with high fidelity. “Normally, computers estimate age by looking for wrinkles or estimate gender by looking at specific two-di...
Lithium-manganese-rich cathodes are twice as energy dense as other commercially available cathodes but degrade quickly during use. Using electron microscopy and theoretical modeling, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers identified substitution patterns in the material’s atomic arr...
