Researchers at ORNL are joining with other agencies to monitor the health of a mountain river and possibly head off detrimental effects of upriver development. Little River, which flows out of the Great Smoky Mountains, is considered a relatively pristine stream despite growth of a resort area along...
High-temperature superconducting cables can transmit up to five times as much electricity as conventional cables over the same rights-of-way. And, because the cable loses very little energy in the form of heat, it will cut electrical transmission losses in half - from 8 percent to 4 percent. H...
Computer models inspired by fusion research - and sand can provide insight toward understanding the complex North American power grid and reducing its vulnerability to blackouts. A dynamic computer model developed by ORNL and university partners simulates an electrical network. By incorpora...
Power blackouts need not interrupt normal routines such as keeping phone circuits and hotel electric systems operating. Using energy sources produced through the concept of distributed generation, Verizon Communications and a Hilton Hotel outside of Gary, Ind., may soon be able to operate reg...
Military helicopters, combat vehicles and limousines could be made safer with an improved armor developed by researchers at ORNL. Tests at the lab show that tiles made of ORNL's boron carbide ceramic and facings made of polymer matrix composites provide superior armor-piercing bullet-stopping abilit...
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has awarded a $22M contract to Caddell/Blaine Joint Venture of Knoxville for construction of the main office and lab facility for the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS).The 80,000-square-foot building will house CNMS staff and use...
Alex DeTrana and Mazi Arzanpouli, two students pursuing their master's degrees in business administration at the University of Tennessee, are adding more than fresh faces to the Technology Transfer and Economic Development organization at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory."Th...
Two researchers with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been named to the North American Editorial Board of the Superconductor Science and Technology Journal.
Amit Goyal, senior staff member in the Metals and Ceramics Division of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been appointed to positions with two scientific publications.
People living in the north-central section of the United States have been treated to earlier hints of spring, according to findings of T.J. Blasing and colleagues in ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division. Over the last 25 years, the rapid temperature increases typical of late winter are occurring a...
