China's decrease in cloud cover accompanied by increased average nighttime temperatures casts into shadows the generally accepted theory that ties increases in global nighttime temperatures to increased cloud cover. The time series analysis by ORNL's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIA...
ORNL and Advanced Optical Systems are developing lightweight mirror technologies that could provide an alternative way to manufacture mirrors for telescopes used for space exploration and military applications. The key is in using existing technologies such as casting, nickel plating and precision m...
An instrument that can detect tiny (nano) explosions could lead to a hand-held instrument to screen people and luggage at airports or to detect land mines. The technology is based on miniature micro-machined silicon cantilevers one-tenth the width of a human hair that can detect tiny forces caused b...
Two researchers in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have been named fellows by the American Physical Society. They are Dr. Steven Paul Hirshman of ORNL's Fusion Energy Division and Dr. Gene Ice of the Metals and Ceramics Division. Hirshman was honored for his many...
Tougaloo College of Jackson, Miss., will host the 2000 Mississippi Science Bowl Saturday, Feb. 19, in partnership with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) of Oak Ridge, Tenn.
The Science Bowl is a fast-paced competition that offers teams of high school students a...
Sherry Bartley Wright, project coordinator for Global Change and Developing Country Programs at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), was presented an international trophy by the International Energy Agency (IEA) for the third time in the last four years.
Armed with an automated weigh-in-motion system being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), U.S. military forces could increase mobility and decrease mistakes when loading vehicles on transport planes and ships.ORNL plans to develop and demonstrate technology ...
Tiny defects in the surface of common material - from silicon to steel - determine the properties of material and how it can be used. Unfortunately, many of these pores, called vacancies, are so small they cannot be accurately measured.
In the past, measurement of vacancies has seriously limited ...
Solar energy could get a megaboost, effectively gaining a threefold improvement over conventional technology, with a system being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).The "full-spectrum solar energy system" harnesses the clean and abundant energy found in sun...
Dr. Rusi Teleyarkhan, group leader and program manager in the Engineering and Technology Division of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has been elected a fellow by the board of directors of the American Nuclear Society.
