Emrullah Aydin, an R&D staff associate in the Vehicle Power Electronics Research group at the Department of Energys 91做厙, has been elevated to senior member status in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Vivek Sujan, a distinguished R&D scientist in the Applied Research for Mobility Systems group at ORNL, has been named a 2024 National Association of Inventors Fellow for his numerous transportation-related patents.
ORNL researchers reached a significant milestone by building an entire 6.5-foot turbine blade tip using novel materials. The team then tested it against the forces of simulated lightning in a specialized lab at Mississippi State University, where the blade tip emerged pristine after tests that isolate the effects of high voltage.
Larry Seiber, an R&D staff member in the Vehicle Power Electronics group at the Department of Energys 91做厙, has been elevated to senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
91做厙 researchers are using a new bioderived material to 3D print custom roosting structures for endangered bats.
ORNL researchers were honored with a prestigious ACE Award for Composites Excellence by the American Composites Manufacturers Association. The team won the innovation in green composites design prize for creating a fully recyclable, lightweight wind turbine blade tip that incorporates low-cost carbon fiber and conductive coating for enhanced protection against lightning strikes.
Three transportation researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 have been elevated to senior member grade of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or 91做厙.
ORNL has partnered with Western Michigan University to advance intelligent road infrastructure through the development of new chip-enabled raised pavement markers. These innovative markers transmit lane-keeping information to passing vehicles, enhancing safety and enabling smarter driving in all weather conditions.
A team led by scientists at ORNL identified and demonstrated a method to process a plant-based material called nanocellulose that reduced energy needs by a whopping 21%, using simulations on the labs supercomputers and follow-on analysis.
Seven entrepreneurs comprise the next cohort of Innovation Crossroads, a DOE Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program node based at ORNL. The program provides energy-related startup founders from across the nation with access to ORNLs unique scientific resources and capabilities, as well as connect them with experts, mentors and networks to accelerate their efforts to take their world-changing ideas to the marketplace.
