Dr. William D. Phillips, a fellow of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the 1997 Nobel Prize winner in physics, will present a Distinguished Lecture at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) at 10 a.m., Friday, March 24.Phillips' lecture is titled "Almost ...
Electronic transistors may one day be replaced by all-optical transistors, which are in early stages of development at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)."Our findings could have tremendous impact on the development of optical switching technology and could lead to appl...
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...
New green chemistry technology that substitutes benign carbon dioxide for noxious industrial solvents holds great promise for the $368 billion per year U.S. chemical industry. The chemical industry plays a vital role in the nation's economy, representing 10 percent of all manufacturing and employing...
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...
