Manufacturers of portable instruments or test kits to detect explosives or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in soil and transformer oil will have a better idea of how well their gear works after participating in a program at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).For 10 day...
Carol H. Scott has been named director of the Operational Safety Services Division at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).Scott is responsible for directing programs that oversee safety procedures at ORNL. She formerly worked in ORNL's Robotic and Process Systems D...
James Allen Bucholz of the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has been named to the Bulgarian Nuclear Society. Bucholz, a nuclear engineer, is a research staff member with ORNL's Computational Physics and Engineering Division, and is currently on assignment to the Spal...
ORNL researchers are developing a system that would provide an eight- to 50-minute warning before an epileptic seizure, giving a person time to take appropriate action. The system uses dime-size scalp electrodes that relay electroencephalographic signals to a computer for analysis. A warning alert w...
In many of today's chemical applications, efficient mixing is critical to achieve product quality and uniformity, and ORNL engineers have devised a better way to do the mixing. The electrohydrodynamic micromixing reactor uses a specially designed electrified injection nozzle that mixes the chemicals...
Emergency responders have a new tool developed by ORNL that could save perhaps thousands of lives around the world. The LandScan Global Population Database is a worldwide source of population data with spatial precision to assess local impacts from floods, airborne contamination and other natural or...
A whole new technology awaits exploration with the discovery of a technique for trapping single atoms, according to scientists at ORNL. Researchers at ORNL and Nanocrystals Technology in Briarcliff, N.Y., have collaborated to cage single europium atoms in nanocrystals not much larger than the atoms ...
Researchers and engineers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have won three R&D 100 Awards, pushing their national lab-leading total to 107 since the awards began in 1963.
The awards, announced today by ORNL Director Bill Madi...
Scientists studying the ability of bacteria to clean up contaminated groundwater and soil will be able to do basic research at a field site at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation.DOE has selected its Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to operate a field research center located in Bea...
Recently acquired supercomputers from IBM and Compaq have made Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) home to the most powerful unclassified computers in the nation and are advancing its leadership role in computational science.
