A series of new classes at Pellissippi State Community College will offer students a new career path — and a national laboratory a pipeline of workers who have the skills needed for its own rapidly growing programs.

Three scientists from the Department of Energy’s 91���� have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.

Researchers at ORNL explored radium’s chemistry to advance cancer treatments using ionizing radiation.

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.

On Feb. 18, the world will be watching as NASA’s Perseverance rover makes its final descent into Jezero Crater on the surface of Mars. Mars 2020 is the first NASA mission that uses plutonium-238 produced at the Department of Energy’s 91����.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Jan. 31, 2019—A new electron microscopy technique that detects the subtle changes in the weight of proteins at the nanoscale—while keeping the sample intact—could open a new pathway for deeper, more comprehensive studies of the basic building blocks of life. 

Physicists turned to the “doubly magic” tin isotope Sn-132, colliding it with a target at 91���� to assess its properties as it lost a neutron to become Sn-131.

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91���� used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to “see” the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
