Quantum precision reached in modeling molten salt behavior
A team led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrated the viability of a “quantum entanglement witness” capable of proving the presence of entanglement between magnetic particles, or spins, in a quantum material.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method of adding nanostructures to high-entropy metal alloys, or HEAs, that enhance both strength and ductility, which is the ability to deform or stretch
As a medical isotope, thorium-228 has a lot of potential — and Oak Ridge National Laboratory produces a lot.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have uncovered how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evades the human immune system by studying the interaction between a viral protein (PLpro) and a key immune protein (ISG15). These insights could guide the development of therapeutic drugs to block this interaction, enhancing the body’s ability to combat the virus.
An ORNL-led team comprising researchers from multiple DOE national laboratories is using artificial intelligence and computational screening techniques – in combination with experimental validation – to identify and design five promising drug therapy approaches to target the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Researchers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully created amorphous ice, similar to ice in interstellar space and on icy worlds in our solar system. They documented that its disordered atomic behavior is unlike any ice on Earth.
At the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, scientists use artificial intelligence, or AI, to accelerate the discovery and development of materials for energy and information technologies.
From Denmark to Japan, the UK, France, and Sweden, physicist Ken Andersen has worked at neutron sources around the world. With significant contributions to neutron scattering and the scientific community, he’s now serving in his most important role yet.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Spallation Neutron Source have developed a diamond anvil pressure cell that will enable high-pressure science currently not possible at any other neutron source in the world.
Researchers believe that proteins could behave differently in lipid raft environments, compared to non-raft regions in a membrane, but this hypothesis has not been fully evaluated. One reason is that membrane models used to study membrane proteins rarely contain rafts.
