Carter to lead Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
ORNL researchers determined that a connected and automated vehicle, or CAV, traveling on a multilane highway with integrated traffic light timing control can maximize energy efficiency and achieve up to 27% savings.
A type of peat moss has surprised scientists with its climate resilience: Sphagnum divinum is actively speciating in response to hot, dry conditions.
The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, or TMS, has chosen ORNL's Anne Campbell to receive its Structural Materials Division Young Leaders Professional Development Award.
ORNL researchers tested a new modeling framework that simulates a flood event from precipitation to inundation.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists identified a gene “hotspot” in the poplar tree that triggers dramatically increased root growth. The discovery supports development of better bioenergy crops and other plants that can thrive in difficult conditions while storing more carbon belowground.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion.
