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...

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.
An Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist has won the inaugural Nuclear Fusion Award from the International Atomic Energy Agency for a paper on making fusion reactors efficient enough to produce power in this century. Masanori Murakami, a distinguished R&D research staffer within ORNL's Fusion...
The Department of Energy has awarded UT-Battelle a performance evaluation of "A" for the quality and productivity of the company's research and development and for its science and technology program management at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. DOE's "report card" comes after an evaluatio...
