Updated software improves slicing for large-format 3D printing
Biofuels pioneer Mascoma LLC and the Department of Energy's BioEnergy Science Center have developed a revolutionary strain of yeast that could help significantly accelerate the development of biofuels from nonfood plant matter.
Today scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European research facility, started recording data from the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved on Earth.
Through some nifty system coordination that limits the number of commercial rooftop air conditioning units that run simultaneously, a technique developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers can provide savings of thousands of dollars per year. Researchers expect the system, i...
Tomorrow’s clothes dryers could use high-frequency mechanical vibrations instead of heat to extract moisture as a cold mist, dramatically reducing drying time and energy use. Oak Ridge National Laboratory and GE Appliances researchers are developing a prototype that uses ultrasonic tr...
Airport runways could be highly visible under even the worst conditions with a lighting technology being developed by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The prototype fixture features infrared and white light generators packaged in the industry standard PAR 38 configuration ...
Using remote sensing data, researchers can efficiently determine optimum sites for solar power plants, according to a study led by Olufemi Omitaomu of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. With the target of solar energy providing up to 35 percent of the nation’s total energy requirements by...
Mariappan (Parans) Paranthaman, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named a fellow of the American Ceramic Society (ACerS).
Predicting how forests will respond to increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide involves understanding the interplay among carbon dioxide, nutrients, water, plant and soil processes. This multitude of variables challenges scientists who are trying to gauge how future ecosystems will react in a changing climate.
Scott Curran, a researcher at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has received the Society for Automotive Engineers (SAE) Foundation’s 2015 Stefan Pischinger Young Industry Leadership Award.
The U.S. Department of Energy has named Brian Wirth, a joint University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory appointee, an Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award winner for 2014.
