Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
The boundary between electronics and biology is blurring with the first detection by researchers at Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory of ferroelectric properties in an amino acid called glycine.
Light of specific wavelengths can be used to boost an enzyme's function by as much as 30 fold, potentially establishing a path to less expensive biofuels, detergents and a host of other products.
Electron microscopy, conducted as part of the Shared Research Equipment (ShaRE) User Program at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has led to a new theory to explain intriguing properties in a material with potential applications in capacitors and actuators. A research team l...
Five nature walks are scheduled this spring and summer on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation.
There is no cost to the public to attend these nature walks.
A wildflower walk will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 15 in the Freels Bend area. The trek will involve wal...
Waste and inefficiencies in the nation's electric grid could be dramatically reduced with the implementation of a magnetic amplifier being developed by a team led by Aleks Dimitrovski of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Energy and Transportation Science Division. If successful, the electromagnetic-ba...
How to clean up the mercury in the environment is a major issue for the Department of Energy. Moreover, bioaccumulation of methylmercury is of global concern. Researchers at the Spallation Neutron Source and the Environmental Sciences Division are studying the internal dynamics of a remarkable famil...
Neutron scattering experiments performed on iron-based superconducting material at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Canada's Chalk River Laboratories have unveiled surprising changes in the materials' subatomic structural and magnetic properties when subjected to relatively low pressures. The exper...
temperature helium-cooled superconducting wire to generate the immense magnetic fields needed to confine...
Scientific analysis of proteins, the workhorses of the cellular world, could become easier by uniting experimental and simulation techniques, according to research published in Biophysical Journal. A team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jeremy Smith demonstrated how the combination of high-pe...
Six companies have earned Small Business Subcontractor awards from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The companies are Keller Technology Corp. of Tonawanda, N.Y., National Resource Management LLC of Knoxville, Tenn., TDS Exhibits Inc. of Knoxville, Tenn., Ideal System So...
