Manufacturers of components made of plastics, polymers and metals may be able to reduce time and energy costs significantly with direct thermal systems developed by researchers in the Metals and Ceramics Division. The direct thermal systems use a non-conventional heating method that permits the appl...
ORNL researchers have built a "smart" transistor that takes advantage of their recent materials breakthrough in depositing a high-quality film of barium titanate on germanium. The device, which is the world's most powerful ferroelectric transistor, is "smart" because of barium titanate's semi-perman...

The first in a series of free nature and history adventures on the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation has a doubleheader scheduled Saturday, March 4. This includes a history talk scheduled at 4:30 p.m. followed by a nature walk at 6 p.m. that should last until about 7 p.m.
Dr. William D. Phillips, a fellow of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) and the 1997 Nobel Prize winner in physics, will present a Distinguished Lecture at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) at 10 a.m., Friday, March 24.Phillips' lecture is titled "Almost ...
Electronic transistors may one day be replaced by all-optical transistors, which are in early stages of development at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)."Our findings could have tremendous impact on the development of optical switching technology and could lead to appl...
