UT-Battelle is supporting the Secret City Commemorative Walk--a memorial to participants in the Manhattan Project who also built the city of Oak Ridge--with the purchase of a monument for the new park.Construction on the self-guided commemorative walk, described as an attractive, permanent and land...
Advanced computational methods and supporting experiments, including work performed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, are giving scientists a better understanding of the nature and stability of superheavy nuclei and the heaviest elements that lie beyond the borders of the periodic table.
Millions of people at risk of becoming blind could one day be helped by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory technology originally intended to understand semiconductor defects.
The project takes advantage of the Department of Energy lab's proprietary content-based image retrieval t...
Ports in the United States and around the world could be protected with a threat vulnerability analysis system being developed by a team led by Robert Patton of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The system, called Orion, will find, analyze and fuse information in support of intelligence, security and m...
Through several refinements to the tried and true method of pulsed laser deposition, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have a new way to synthesize materials and conduct basic studies vital to creating new ones. By continuously monitoring the growth process and precisely controlling the amou...
Abnormalities of the face and skull rank among the most common birth defects in humans. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are taking a systems biology approach to the problem, investigating a series of eight mutant mouse strains that could serve as animal models for deciphering the comple...
"Cold case files" takes on new meaning for geochemists like Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Steven Turgeon, co-author of a Science paper that might explain a 248-million-year-old event that killed 90 percent of all marine species and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrae species. This "extinction even...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory employee contributions and matching funds from UT-Battelle totaling $192,356 have been raised to aid victims of the recent Asian tsunami, ORNL Director Jeff Wadsworth announced Wednesday.
Funded by the Department of Energy, the Research Support Center is the most recent addition of ORNL's $300 million modernization campaign, which has also included federal, state and private investment. In addition to the visitor reception area, the $16 million Research Support Center also houses ORNL's new cafeteria and a state-of-the-art conference center.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force have launched a program to help Air Force personnel upgrade their technical knowledge and skills and raise their awareness of potentially useful ORNL research and technology.
