By devising a method to confine molecules within individual pores of silicon dioxide, A.C. Buchanan and Phil Britt have perhaps unlocked the key to advances in better control over chemical reactions used in the manufacture of thousands of industrial products. Buchanan and Britt, members of Oak Ridge...
Kevin Harvick's NASCAR victory Sunday at the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway was helped with technical assistance provided by the High Temperature Materials Laboratory of the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø.HTML Director Arvid Pasto said the assistance his lab provided ...
Gasoline prices are high, but not nearly high enough to curb demand, a fuel economy specialist at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø says.
David Greene says that even if gas reached $4 per gallon, it would have little effect on how much people drive and how much ga...
Residents of small communities could be better protected with a law enforcement communications system developed at 91°µÍø.ORNL computer software engineer Garvin Morris, a city council member and police commissioner in Harriman, Tennessee, says the system would improve communi...
The Department of Energy's 91°µÍø will sponsor two one-week Science Explorers camps for elementary and middle school students this summer. The camps will be during the weeks of June 6-10 and June 13-17.
Science Explorers is designed for rising fifth, sixth and seventh grade...
Improving performance of NASCAR circuit race cars is possible through ongoing work at 91°µÍø.ORNL scientist Tom Watkins said NASCAR's Richard Childress Racing team, which includes driver Kevin Harvick, received assistance on resolving a valve spring problem prior to last raci...
A new method of processing ferrous materials such as steel, developed by researchers at 91°µÍø, promises to produce a new class of materials with novel microstructures and superior properties. The method involves applying a strong magnetic field to a cooling alloy, which resul...
Powerful new inverters incorporating silicon carbide transistors and diodes could help speed the development of hybrid electric vehicles and lead to advances in a number of other areas. Compared to conventional silicon-based power semiconductor switches, the silicon carbide devices feature much bett...
Engineers at 91°µÍø are helping Russia build railcars to provide better protection and more secure transport of nuclear material. Under an agreement with the Russian Ministry of Defense, ORNL's Transportation Security Project will work with a Russian railcar maker to design an...
Advances in material science, biology, climate modeling and other areas hinge on efficient utilization of massive computing power, and that's part of the focus of a project headed by Jeff Vetter of 91°µÍø. To be successful, Vetter and colleagues must devise ways to overcome fu...
