The recently-opened Dell Regional Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas, is demonstrating the future in self-sufficient power, with the help of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Working with researchers in ORNL's Buildings Technology Center, the medical facility has installed a combined heat and p...
Effects of a biological attack could be minimized through a new system that focuses on early identification and rapid response. The system, developed and operated by a team that includes Oak Ridge National Laboratory, integrates information obtained from diverse sources and automatically initiates a...
An agreement between Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Research Centre Julich in Germany could ultimately lead to lower cost, higher performance fuel cells for transportation and portable power applications.Under the recently signed cooperative activity agreement, the Department of Energy's OR...
While grilling outdoors with natural gas during the summertime is considered environmentally cleaner than burning with charcoal, Tris West, a researcher with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, says using charcoal does have a long-range advantage. "Charcoal is made from wo...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have won six R&D 100 Awards, given annually by R&D Magazine to the year's most technologically significant new products.
"Once again, DOE's labs are at the cutting edge of innovation with new technology deve...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL's) Cray XT4 supercomputer, known as Jaguar, is now the second fastest system in the world, according to a semiannual list of the world's fastest computers.
A team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has won an award from the Department of Energy for a $125 million bioenergy research center that will seek new ways to produce biofuels. Funded by the Department of Energy's Office of Science, the DOE Bioenergy Science Center will be located o...
In the mesoscale, or typical, world, machines are assembled a piece or component at a time. In the nanoscale world, molecular machines essentially have to grow themselves into useful configurations. The new Nanofabrication Research Laboratory at The Department of Energy's Center for Nanophase Materi...
Comprehensive risk analysis provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers plays a crucial role in keeping billions of dollars of electricity generation on line — without compromising safety. In the absence of license renewal, more than 40 percent of the nation's 104...
