Carter to lead Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Michael Brady, a materials scientist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected fellow of ASM International.
ASM International, the world’s largest association of metals-centric scientists and engineers, honored Brady “for innov...
Additive manufacturing techniques featuring atomic precision could one day create materials with Legos flexibility and Terminator toughness, according to researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In a review paper published in ACS Nano, Olga Ovchinni...
A scientist that sings opera and performs in musical theater? Sure. If you're a Renaissance Man like Simon Pallin. Pallin is a researcher in Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Buildings Technologies Research & Integration Center. But his early interests and activities reveal a versatile person that could have chosen a number of occupations.
For decades nuclear physicists have tried to learn more about which elements, or their various isotopes, are “magic.” This is not to say that they display supernatural powers. Magic atomic nuclei are composed of “magic” numbers of protons and neutrons—collectively called nucleons—such as 2, 8, 20, and 28.
When physicists Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered the first high-temperature superconductors in 1986, it didn’t take much imagination to envision the potential technological benefits of harnessing such materials.
Richard Norby, a physiological ecologist at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elected fellow of Ecological Society of America. Norby, a researcher in ORNL's in the Environmental Sciences Division and Climate Change Science Institu...
Fernanda Foertter, a user support specialist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, considers herself a tinkerer.
Foertter’s tinkering started when she was a child, but her innate inquisitiveness still influences her work at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing...
Guillermo Daniel (Bill) DelCul of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has received the Glenn T. Seaborg Award at the 40th Actinide Separations Conference.
In an era of instant communication, perhaps no message-passing system is more underappreciated than the human body. Underlying each movement, each mood, each sight, sound, or smell, an army of specialized cells called neurons relays signals that register in the brain and connect us to our environment.
A new study by a multi-institutional team, led by researchers from Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University, has revealed exotic magnetic properties in a rare-earth based intermetallic compound. Similar studies suggest a better understanding of those types of behavio...
