When physicists Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Muller discovered the first high-temperature superconductors in 1986, it didnt take much imagination to envision the potential technological benefits of harnessing such materials.
Radioactive materials have long been a part of American historyfrom the Manhattan Project to the development of nuclear power.
Ask a biofuel researcher to name the single greatest technical barrier to cost-effective ethanol, and youre likely to receive a one-word response: lignin.
Cellulosic ethanolfuel derived from woody plants and waste biomasshas the potential to become an
When the Ford Motor Companys first automobile, the Model T, debuted in 1908, it ran on a corn-derived biofuel called ethanol, a substance Henry Ford dubbed the fuel of the future.
Since lasers were first produced in the early 1960s, researchers have worked to apply laser technology from welding metal to surgeries, with laser technology advancing quickly through the last 50 years.
Theres a good reason research institutions keep pushing for faster supercomputers: They allow the researchers to develop more realistic simulations than slower machines.
Summit wont be open to users for another three years, but lets not forget that ORNL already has the worlds second-fastest computerthe 27 petaflop Titan.
