Virginia-based Lenvio Inc. has exclusively licensed a cyber security technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø that can quickly detect malicious behavior in software not previously identified as a threat.

By wet-sieving stream sediment, (from left) 91°µÍø’s Kenneth Lowe, Melanie Mayes and John Dickson sort sediment into different particle size in this stream near Rocky Top.

An 91°µÍø study is providing an unprecedented watershed-scale understanding of mercury in soils and sediments. Researchers focused on evaluating mercury and soil properties along the banks of a mercury-contaminated stream in Oak Ridge, Tenn., sampling 145 loca...

Andrew King loads a gel with amplified gene fragments to detect the presence of mercury methylation genes in samples from East Fork Poplar Creek in Oak Ridge.

Environmental scientists can more efficiently detect genes required to convert mercury in the environment into more toxic methylmercury with molecular probes developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. “We now have a quic...
