Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
Lignin is a waste material that is produced when paper is manufactured from wood. Instead of disposing of the lignin, a research team at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has learned how to take the material and convert it into powering a...
The ability to control nanoscale imperfections in superconducting wires results in materials with unparalleled and customized performance, according to a new study from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann recognized the six Oak Ridge National Laboratory innovations that recently earned R&D 100 Awards during a ceremony at ORNL’s Weinberg Auditorium.
Better batteries, catalysts, electronic information storage and processing devices are among potential benefits of an unexpected discovery made by Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists using samples isolated from the atmosphere.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher A. C. Buchanan III has been elected a fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing a device to study how amputees can adjust to prosthetics that allow them to walk again with as much comfort as possible while avoiding overuse injuries to other limbs.
More forms of mercury can be converted to deadly methylmercury than previously thought, according to a study published Sunday in Nature Geoscience.
With Vari-k-Graphmet, a combination of highly conductive graphite foam and ductile metal powders, Oak Ridge National Laboratory has created an entirely new family of metal matrix composites that broadens the use of graphite foam. Vari-k-Graphmet offers high-strength, low-mass titanium-graphite foa...
The Mobile Gait Analysis System improves prosthesis fit and performance for soldiers who have lost a leg, helping them to maintain an active physical lifestyle. The team’s device allows a prosthetic limb to be properly fitted to patients by measuring and analyzing the motions and forces exerted wh...
By substituting lignin for highly engineered, expensive graphite to make battery electrodes, researchers have developed a process that requires fewer steps and offers better performance. Renewable Electrodes from Wood Products, or ReNEW-PRO, is a low-cost lithium-ion battery anode made inexpensive...
