DOE, ORNL announce opportunity to define future of High-Performance Computing
Hundreds of new jobs are expected to result from production of a super-efficient water heater developed under an Oak Ridge National Laboratory-General Electric partnership. GE will be the first major brand to have a commercially available product that meets the 2009 Department of Energy "Energy Star...
About 400 jobs will be created at a Louisville General Electric plant where a new electric water heater will be built.
Officials of the Department of Energy and UT-Battelle broke ground today on a $95 million Chemical and Materials Sciences facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Construction of the new laboratory facility is supported by funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act enacted by Congress e...

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 13, 2009 Governor Phil Bredesen today proposed the Volunteer State Solar Initiative, a comprehensive solar-energy and economic-development program that will use up to $62.5 million in federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to advance job creation, education, res...
Tractor-trailers may be able to improve fuel efficiency and increase the amount of cargo with single wide tires instead of the more conventional and thinner dual tires.Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Bill Knee says that fuel efficiency performance is based on analysis of a 700,000-mile tractor...
Wide tires on tractor-trailers can reduce the weight of a rig, enabling additional cargo to be added without compromising fuel efficiency. That conclusion is drawn from an in-depth tractor-trailer performance study managed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Center for Transportation Analysis. The st...
In one of the largest experiments of its kind, thousands of cottonwood cuttings planted in common gardens in British Columbia, Oregon and California will help scientists determine which strains are best suited for cellulosic ethanol production. This study, led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, build...
Fusion energy took a small step forward with a successful simulation performed on Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jaguar supercomputer. A team led by C.S. Chang of New York University recently used the XGC1 code to verify that turbulence in the well-confined edge of plasma in a fusion reactor can pe...
matter research. The spectrometer is particularly well suited for analyzing molecular motions and mobility, which will be useful for ...
