Updated software improves slicing for large-format 3D printing
Hospitals, college campuses and factories are among likely customers for the Modular Integrated Energy System, which boasts 80 percent to 90 percent efficiency compared to the national average of 32 percent. Those figures are based on the lower heating value of natural gas and compared to the effici...
Discovering the ideal material for reversible storage of hydrogen could become a less daunting task because of work by a team led by David Singh of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Condensed Matter Sciences Division. The challenge is to find a material that is efficient at storing hydrogen yet also h...
Anywhere that special nuclear material is stored, the container must bear a seal that serves as a tamper indicating device. Figuring out which kind of a seal to use isn't simple: it depends on the type of container and material, the levels of security that exist, and the storage environment, among o...
Non-native invasive plant species, such as kudzu, fescue and Japanese honeysuckle, have caused overgrowth problems for many land areas throughout the Southeast, literally choking off plant species native to the region and reducing diversity of plant habitats. Oak Ridge National Laboratory environmen...
Soldiers equipped with Oak Ridge National Laboratory's TRI-NAV system will know their precise location regardless of foliage, terrain, buildings and attempts by the enemy to jam global positioning system signals, says Steve Smith, lead researcher for the project and a member of ORNL's Engineering Sc...
The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has met a crucial milestone on its way to completion in June 2006 -- operation of the superconducting section of its linear accelerator.
Following Space Shuttle Discovery's landing, a material scientist at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is studying ways to prevent foam from falling off the shuttle.
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory will work with three institutions on a variety of mathematical-related research projects thanks to a $1.2 million DOE Office of Science grant."
Some students relax during the summer, take a break from studies and go on vacation.
Technology similar to that found in a CD player is at the heart of a system that could make homes and the nation safer. The Laser-Based Item Monitoring System, developed by a team led by Pete Chiaro of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Engineering Science & Technology Division, consists of a laser dio...
