The development and maturation of automated data tools for cancer research, part of the objectives outlined in the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, could give medical researchers and policymakers an unprecedented view of the U.S. cancer population—at a level of detail typi...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have produced the next generation of the National Hydropower Map – a visualization tool that provides updated statistics on overall capacity and performance on the nation’s hydropower fleet. The map is part of the lab’s National Hydropower ...
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have further validated the accuracy of the ORNL-developed Autotune building energy model calibration software, an open source system that can inform contractors to make smarter retrofit decisions. Through two case studies, the research t...
A multi-institution team led by Jefferson Lab’s Robert Edwards has been using Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Titan supercomputer to drastically improve modeling subatomic particles using lattice quantum chromodynamics methods. The Jefferson Lab investigators partnered with NVIDIA ...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s ongoing research in molten salt reactors—along with decades of renowned efforts in the field—is bringing nuclear experts together for its second workshop on the new generation of MSRs. The October 4-5 event is organized around the theme of “Moving MS...
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are harnessing big data capture and analytics to quickly develop deep insight into materials and their dynamics. Their new technique builds on Kelvin probe force microscopy, long used to gather information about electronic properties by “...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and 3M are teaming up to study whether adhesives can be developed to join heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and refrigeration components. Using neutron imaging capabilities at the lab’s High Flux Isotope Reactor, the research team will character...
Keeping energy-concentrating mirrors at solar thermal power plants free from dirt is both labor and time intensive. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working to address the challenge with lab-developed superhydrophobic coating technology. “We’ve shown that applying...
Fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactors are a promising design in the next generation of nuclear energy production, and one of the first steps from concept to reality is underway at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A team led by ORNL’s Graydon Yoder Jr. is operating a test l...
In nuclear reactors, energetic neutrons slam into metal atoms that are ordered in a lattice, displacing them with enough force to trigger a cascade of collisions. Laurent Béland, Yury Osetskiy and Roger Stoller, of the Energy Dissipation to Defect Evolution Energy Frontier Resear...
