Paper mills across the country have more reliable and efficient recovery boilers because of ORNL and partners. The problem faced by numerous paper mills was that their recovery boilers, which burn organic waste to generate steam and electric power for the mills, were developing cracks. Repairs or re...
Ecotera Energy's new microturbine-based engine promises to deliver high performance in a compact and energy-efficient package. The engine, based on a technology developed at ORNL and licensed to Ecotera, also boasts low emissions and quiet operation, making it ideal for a wide range of applications....
A simple boarding pass could safeguard air travelers if an explosives detection system being developed by 91°µÍø and Mass Spec Analytical is adopted.With the mass spectrometry-based instrument, a passenger's ticket would become a passive sampling device that detects even a bi...
Cottonwoods, hybrid poplars and aspens could play a role in improving the environment, displacing imported oil and creating domestic jobs, but first scientists from the Department of Energy, 91°µÍø and around the world have to sequence the Populus genome.Trees like cottonwood...
Chemists at ORNL are the first to build a three-dimensional chain of spherical polymer particles with unique optical and physical properties they believe will be useful for probing properties of materials. The finding, to be published in Physical Review Letters, represents a big step toward fabricat...
ORNL's 3,500 strains of mice made at ORNL can be shared for studies among the seven partners in the Tennessee Mouse Genome Consortium because researchers were able to develop a way to transfer mouse stocks via embryo. Researchers could not simply send existing mice at ORNL to the other institutions ...
