Manufacturers of components made of plastics, polymers and metals may be able to reduce time and energy costs significantly with direct thermal systems developed by researchers in the Metals and Ceramics Division. The direct thermal systems use a non-conventional heating method that permits the appl...
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will host three one-week camps this summer for elementary and middle school students. They are:
