A potentially inexpensive miniature sensor able to detect tiny amounts of airborne plastic explosives in just seconds could make it possible to safeguard virtually all airports and key public facilities in the United States. The ORNL micromechanical system (MEMS) has several advantages over conventi...
Transmission - Three times the efficiency Next-generation power lines that are lighter and can transmit far more electricity will likely play a role in modernizing the nation's power grid. The new transmission lines, made of 3M Nextel 610 ceramic fibers embedded in an aluminum matrix, are un...
Ridding natural gas of sulfur and other impurities means cleaner air, and it is the focus of a project that would take advantage of two technologies developed at ORNL. The goal is to build and demonstrate a low-cost regenerative desulfurizer based on the carbon fiber composite molecular sieve and el...
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...
