Polyphase wireless power transfer system achieves 270-kilowatt charge, s...
By mixing graphitic particles with ductile metal powders, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have produced an entirely new family of matrix composites that broaden the use of graphite foam. These novel metals, collectively called Vari-k-Graphmet, possess the qualities of each individual compo...
Energy consumers intent on seeing lower bills could see that happen with Citizen Engagement for Energy Efficient Communities, a software developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. CoNNECT, a community-based computational framework, enables consumers to benchmark their consumption against that of th...
Scientists of the Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments are blogging from the Arctic this summer. Follow their adventures at http://ngee-arctic.blogspot.com/. Participants share troubles and triumphs from the field in entries with headings like "Flying Wild Alaska" and "Hitting the Tundra." "The blo...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's new Stinger Energizer provides voltages exceeding 100 kilovolts in a compact highly efficient, portable package, making it ideal for laser systems, X-ray units, particle accelerators, electrostatic purifiers, copy machines, bug zappers and many other products. Convent...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Titan supercomputer has completed rigorous acceptance testing to ensure the functionality, performance and stability of the machine, one of the world's most powerful supercomputing systems for open science. The Department of Energy...
New Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz praised the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory for its scientific capabilities for conducting in-depth studies on the structures of materials during his June 3 visit to the laboratory.
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have designed and tested an all-solid lithium-sulfur battery with approximately four times the energy density of conventional lithium-ion technologies that power today's electronics.
Whole-ecosystem warming technologies for the 10- year Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Climatic and Environmental Change project have been finalized using prototypes designed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Construction has begun in Minnesota to deploy the technologies, which will warm the...
By using water instead of expensive, flammable and toxic solvents to make lithium-ion batteries, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have discovered and demonstrated a path to reduce manufacturing costs and removed environmental concerns. The method also eliminates the explosion-proof pr...
Improving point of care diagnostics and decision support capabilities will be among the topics for Oak Ridge National Laboratory's 2nd Annual Biosurveillance Symposium conference in Alexandria, Va., June 17. Medical professionals and industry leaders from around the world will also be discussing poi...
