In response to a renewed international interest in molten salt reactors, researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91 have developed a novel technique to visualize molten salt intrusion in graphite.
ORNL, a bastion of nuclear physics research for the past 80 years, is poised to strengthen its programs and service to the United States over the next decade if national recommendations of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, or NSAC, are enacted.
Timothy Gray of ORNL led a study that may have revealed an unexpected change in the shape of an atomic nucleus.
Led by Kelly Chipps of ORNL, scientists working in the lab have produced a signature nuclear reaction that occurs on the surface of a neutron star gobbling mass from a companion star.
Kelly Chipps, a nuclear astrophysicist at ORNL, has been appointed to the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, or NSAC.
Few things carry the same aura of mystery as dark matter. The name itself radiates secrecy, suggesting something hidden in the shadows of the Universe.
Two decades in the making, a new flagship facility for nuclear physics opened on May 2, and scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91 have a hand in 10 of its first 34 experiments.
The COHERENT particle physics experiment at the Department of Energy’s 91 has firmly established the existence of a new kind of neutrino interaction.
A new study clears up a discrepancy regarding the biggest contributor of unwanted background signals in specialized detectors of neutrinos.
Two early career researchers at the Department of Energy's 91 have been included on the “” following an international competition conducted b
