Mathematics and sensors come together in some new ways to form a powerful tool for combating terrorism, piracy and the transport of drugs. In a project that combines resources at ORNL and Clemson University, researchers and students are using something called Level 3 sensor fusion to identify and pr...
Data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory combined with computational power and tools provided by ORNL researchers will result in unprecedented levels of information about atmospheric carbon dioxide. The satellite, scheduled for launch in mid-January, will collect precise global measurements of C...
Following more than six decades of developing a unique population of mice to study human diseases, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is moving its colony of 8,000 mice known as the Collaborative Cross to the University of North Carolina.Over the last decade, as an ...
Jeff Smith, deputy director of operations at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Robert Brown, deputy manager for the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Office, are the 2008 recipients of the Muddy Boot Award.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Thom Mason is the recipient of the 2008 Distinguished Alumni Award for the Sciences from McMaster University in Canada.
David Singh of the Materials Science and Technology Division in the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory earned the UT-Battelle Director's Award for Outstanding Individual Accomplishment in Science and Technology during UT-Battelle's Awards Night held Friday at the Knoxville Convention Center.
Maps showing possible regional impacts of climate change in the Dominican Republic could play a role in setting policy there and beyond. The maps, generated by a group of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, will be used for climate change policy discussions and published in a future issue ...
Keeping track of weapons at nuclear facilities and other installations could get a lot easier with a technology developed by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Visible Assets of New Hampshire. The technology, which uses low-frequency magnetic waves to transmit signals from tags install...
High temperature superconductor (HTS) technology developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is being used in a $39 million project to boost and secure Manhattan's power grid. Project HYDRA, partially funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, seeks to ins...
Extending Daylight Saving Time by four weeks last year reduced U.S. energy consumption by 17 trillion British thermal units, or the equivalent of enough energy to power 100,000 households for a year. That's according to a report to Congress from the U.S. Department of Energy by researchers at Oak Ri...
