91°µÍø

In the search for ways to fight methylmercury in global waterways, scientists at 91°µÍø discovered that some forms of phytoplankton are good at degrading the potent neurotoxin.

Scientist-inventors from ORNL will present seven new technologies during the Technology Innovation Showcase on Friday, July 14, from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. at the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences on ORNL’s campus.

When reading the novel Jurassic Park as a teenager, Jerry Parks found the passages about gene sequencing and supercomputers fascinating, but never imagined he might someday pursue such futuristic-sounding science.

91°µÍø scientists exploring bioenergy plant genetics have made a surprising discovery: a protein domain that could lead to new COVID-19 treatments.

A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø designed a molecule that disrupts the infection mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and could be used to develop new treatments for COVID-19 and other viral diseases.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm visited 91°µÍø today to attend a groundbreaking ceremony for the U.S. Stable Isotope Production and Research Center. The facility is slated to receive $75 million in funding from the Inflation Reduction Act.

A new paper published in Nature Communications adds further evidence to the bradykinin storm theory of COVID-19’s viral pathogenesis — a theory that was posited two years ago by a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø.

Researchers from ORNL, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Tuskegee University used mathematics to predict which areas of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein are most likely to mutate.

Five technologies invented by scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have been selected for targeted investment through ORNL’s Technology Innovation Program.

When the COVID-19 pandemic stunned the world in 2020, researchers at ORNL wondered how they could extend their support and help
