Five opportunities for the public to explore parts of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation are planned this spring.
Freshly fallen leaves contribute less to the levels of carbon in mineral soil than was previously believed, according to the findings of a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers Mats Froberg and Paul Hanson. In a paper published in the March-April issue of Soil Science Society of Amer...
A new material developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Nanoscience Center could replace a costly process in the manufacture of biodiesel that consumes chemicals, water and energy and also reduces the yield of the final product. During production, catalysts must be applied to transform biodiesel...
By devising a novel computational approach to examining a large amount of data, scientists have gained insight into the intricate workings of proteins responsible for sensing their surroundings and transmitting that information inward. Despite being studied for decades, little is known about how the...
A new adaptation of statistical tools applied to geophysical data sets show that the correlation between the variability of large river flows and the El Nino-Southern Oscillation index is much higher than previously thought. The research, published in Geophysical Research Letters (Vol. 33, 2006), re...
The first and the third weekends in April will mark the 11th year of wild turkey hunts on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Wildlife Management Area.
4, part of a nanotechnology research and industry event to be hosted at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The teams were chosen based on the innovation of their pr...
For the second year in a row, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have been part of industry teams to win the Ohio Governor's Award for Energy Efficiency.ORNL received the award for materials it helped develop for steel manufacturer Republic Engineered Products of Lorain, Ohio, to replace a c...
Research to characterize and reduce the amount of air pollution being emitted by trucks is ongoing at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). ORNL engineer Johney Green says with new federal air quality standards starting to take effect this year, his group is working with ...
Herbert A. Mook Jr., a senior researcher at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected to the Neutron Scattering Society of America's inaugural group of fellows.
