Colonies of cyber robots with unique missions can in near real time detect network intruders on computers that support U.S. infrastructure. These "cybots" created for an ORNL software program called UNTAME (Ubiquitous Network Transient Autonomous Mission Entities) may be especially useful for helpin...
For the first time, farmers have data that tracks at the county level on-site and off-site energy use and carbon dioxide emissions associated with growing crops in the United States. This information is vital for examining changes in cropland production and management techniques and could play an...
The U.S. Department of Energy has given its initial approval to begin plans for a second target station for the Spallation Neutron Source, expanding what is already the world's most powerful pulsed neutron scattering facility located at DOE's 91°µÍø.
A project to speed and further safeguard the shipping of thousands of radioisotopes in the United States and afar hits the highway this year, but researchers expect the benefits to extend well beyond. Using radio frequency identification, or RFID, in conjunction with other technologies in use and be...
Assistance to Navistar in developing a new lightweight truck bumper that can save gasoline without compromising safety is being performed by a materials process team headed by Gail Ludtka of 91°µÍø's Materials Science and Technology Division. Characterizing and analyzing data ...
Structural defects introduced into carbon nanotubes could lead the way to carbon nanotube circuits, research led by Vincent Meunier of 91°µÍø's Computer Science and Mathematics Division shows. Individual carbon nanotubes are excellent conductors of electricity, but that conduc...
Two scientists at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø are among the 486 to be elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) at the 2009 Annual Meeting next month in Chicago.
The two awardees are R...
Although the Daresbury Nuclear Structure Facility in England was closed in 1993, one of its nuclear physics instruments will have a second life at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø. The large, multi-million-dollar instrument will be used with ORNL's upgraded radioactive-ion
Automobile manufacturers must crash models of their cars to determine if they meet safety standards for protecting passengers during accidents. Because a single car crash test can cost $50,000 to $750,000, an attractive alternative to crunching metal is crunching numbers.Inexpensive car-crash simul...
