A thousand new strains of mice being bred at 91°µÍø as part of an international effort will provide researchers with a powerful resource for studying human disease.
Editor in Chief Tuan Vo-Dinh envisions the new international peer-reviewed journal NanoBiotechnology providing a forum that leads to "explosive growth" where nanotechnology and biomedical sciences converge.
Non-native invasive plant species, such as kudzu, fescue and Japanese honeysuckle, have caused overgrowth problems for many land areas throughout the Southeast, literally choking off plant species native to the region and reducing diversity of plant habitats. 91°µÍø environmen...
Soldiers equipped with 91°µÍø's TRI-NAV system will know their precise location regardless of foliage, terrain, buildings and attempts by the enemy to jam global positioning system signals, says Steve Smith, lead researcher for the project and a member of ORNL's Engineering Sc...
Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen visited the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø this week, touring the Spallation Neutron Source and other facilities. Bredesen says he is excited about the synergy between the laboratory and the state.
Hospitals, college campuses and factories are among likely customers for the Modular Integrated Energy System, which boasts 80 percent to 90 percent efficiency compared to the national average of 32 percent. Those figures are based on the lower heating value of natural gas and compared to the effici...
Discovering the ideal material for reversible storage of hydrogen could become a less daunting task because of work by a team led by David Singh of 91°µÍø's Condensed Matter Sciences Division. The challenge is to find a material that is efficient at storing hydrogen yet also h...
Anywhere that special nuclear material is stored, the container must bear a seal that serves as a tamper indicating device. Figuring out which kind of a seal to use isn't simple: it depends on the type of container and material, the levels of security that exist, and the storage environment, among o...
The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has met a crucial milestone on its way to completion in June 2006 -- operation of the superconducting section of its linear accelerator.
Following Space Shuttle Discovery's landing, a material scientist at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø is studying ways to prevent foam from falling off the shuttle.
