Case closed: Neutrons settle 40-year debate on enzyme for drug design
One of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's international partners, Switzerland's Paul Scherrer Institute, is delivering a massive 16-Tesla magnet at the Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source to provide unique environmental conditions for sample analysis. Several of the SNS instruments were de...
People producing child pornography and using the Internet to share their material could be living dangerously because of a technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y-12 National Security Complex. The system employs software agents to rapidly and thoroughly scan confiscated hard ...
A first-ever systematic study of the effectiveness of reverse 911 calls shows it worked like a charm and saved lives when fires consumed 368,340 acres and 1,600 structures in San Diego County in 2007. A team led by John Sorensen and Barbara Vogt of Oak Ridge National Laboratory concluded that its fi...
