Research scientist Daniel Jacobson is standing with his arms crossed with a dark black backdrop

Daniel Jacobson, distinguished research scientist in the Biosciences Division at ORNL, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, or AIMBE, for his achievements in computational biology. 

Researcher is sitting in bio lab surrounded with plants

Dave Weston studies how microorganisms influence plant health and stress tolerance, using the Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory to accelerate research on plant-microbe interactions and develop resilient crops for advanced fuels, chemicals and 

Two gray rectangular pillars are stood up vertically with a blue whisp running through the middle of them

Researchers at ORNL tested a quantum computing approach to an old challenge: solving canonical fluid dynamics problems. The study relied on support from the Quantum Computing User Program, part of ORNLā€™s Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. The results highlight avenues for further study of quantum computingā€™s potential to aid scientific discovery.

Energy Secretary, CEO for OpenAI and ORNL researcher are standing over a table talking to event participants

ORNL took part in the ā€œ1,000 Scientists AI Jam Session,ā€ a first-of-its-kind virtual event that brought together leading scientists from nine national laboratories to test generative artificial intelligence models for their functionality in scientific research.

Secretary Wright leans over red computer door, signing with silver sharpie as ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer looks on

During his first visit to 91°µĶų, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the Labā€™s World War II beginnings to todayā€™s global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a ā€œManhattan Project 2.ā€

Illustration of a quantum experiment: atoms in a lattice (inset) with entanglement effects radiating from a central particle on a textured surface.

Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by ORNL revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the emerging field of quantum computing. 

Six images fanned out across the right side of the page with the first page showcasing the report cover. To the right hand side is a green oak leaf.

A workshop led by scientists at ORNL sketched a road map toward a longtime goal: development of autonomous, or self-driving, next-generation research laboratories. 

Large group of over 30 students gather in conference room for a presentation, seated with their laptops

Not only did ORNL take home top honors at the 2024 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24), but the labā€™s computing staff also shared career advice and expertise with students eager to enter the world of supercomputing.

This is an image of a photon chip, it's a black background with green squiggle lines across it, with two blue lines running horizontally in the middle with an inch in between.

Quantum information scientists at ORNL successfully demonstrated a device that combines key quantum photonic capabilities on a single chip for the first time.

Image of four tall blocks creating a square with each block a different color, two gray, one green and one blue. That shape is sitting on a flat set of squares rotating the same color pattern

A recent study led by quantum researchers at ORNL proved popular among the science community interested in building a more reliable quantum network. The study, led by ORNLā€™s Hsuan-Hao Lu, details development of a novel quantum gate that operates between two photonic degrees of freedom ā€” polarization and frequency.
