Burak Ozpineci started out at ORNL working on a novel project: introducing silicon carbide into power electronics for more efficient electric vehicles. Twenty years later, the car he drives contains those same components.
Mark Noakes, a senior researcher at 91°µÍø, has been recognized by the American Nuclear Society with the Ray Goertz Award for his contributions to using robotics in harsh environments.
ORNL and Tuskegee University have formed a partnership to develop new biodegradable materials for use in buildings, transportation and biomedical applications.
91°µÍø researchers determined that designing polymers specifically with upcycling in mind could reduce future plastic waste considerably and facilitate a circular economy where the material is used repeatedly.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm visited ORNL on Nov.
Electricity powers our lives, and ORNL researchers are deeply involved in every aspect of the electricity ecosystem.
Our society’s ability to transition to clean energy technologies depends, to a great extent, on having adequate supplies of the materials needed to manufacture components that will be ubiquitous in a clean energy economy — particularly batteries and ele
To make electric vehicle charging even easier than filling up a car with gas, ORNL researchers have demonstrated a range of wireless charging solutions for stationary vehicles and are nearing completion of a new system to charge EVs while they’re in mot
The Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center, located in Hardin Valley, about eight miles from ORNL’s main campus, pulls together ORNL’s work in electricity.
91°µÍø has released the federal government’s new 2022 Fuel Economy Guide. The report provides the latest fuel efficiency stats and money-saving tips for new and used vehicles.
