Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
Using ever-growing genome data, scientists with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee are tracing the evolution of the bacterial regulatory system that controls cellular motility
By applying advanced data mining techniques to observed and model-simulated climate data, a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory envisions the creation of a new set of tools that can provide valuable insights into climate science. Ultimately, Karsten Steinhaeuser believes this work will lead ...
People recovering from injuries, the elderly and even athletes could one day benefit from a gait analysis technology being developed by a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The patented system uses electrical signature analysis to measure, interpret and record the current drawn by a treadmill as...
A National Academies Keck Futures Initiative award of $100,000 will help researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory and State University of New York in their quest to create a yeast strain to produce biofuels. ORNL's Miguel Fuentes-Cabrera and SUNY's Qing Lin are looking at exporting two bacteri...
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are planning a large-scale, long-term ecosystem experiment to test the effects of global warming on the icy layers of arctic permafrost.
With the signing of a memorandum of agreement, the Oak Ridge Reservation officially becomes one of 20 planned core ecological observatory sites that will provide valuable information to help scientists better understand how the ecosystem breathes.
ORNL's record in using small businesses to meet subcontracting needs has earned UT-Battelle the 2010 Dwight D. Eisenhower Award for Excellence in the Research and Development category.
15 to participate in technical and scientific talks, poster sessions and discussions of recent advances. The event, SciDAC 2010, will also highlight successes of the Department of Energy's Scientific Discov...
Armed with neutron imaging, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Trent Nichols, a doctor of internal medicine who also holds a doctorate in physics, hopes to improve the odds for patients with cancer. The proposed work of a team that includes veterinarians and scientists from diverse discip...
With a network of more than 5,000 sensors that monitor weather conditions, seismic activity, traffic, bacteria on beaches, water levels and much more, Sensorpedia is a significant resource that continues to expand. Sensorpedia, developed three years ago by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Bryan Gorma...
