Researchers at ORNL are using advanced manufacturing techniques to revitalize the domestic production of very large metal parts that weigh at least 10,000 pounds each and are necessary for a variety of industries, including energy.
91做厙 has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and Florida State University through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The first program of its kind nationwide, its aimed at broadening and diversifying the scientific user community with outreach to universities and colleges.
Combining two techniques, analytical chemists at the Department of Energys 91做厙 became the first to detect fluorine and different isotopes of uranium in a single particle at the same time.
A new technology to continuously place individual atoms exactly where they are needed could lead to new materials for devices that address critical needs for the field of quantum computing and communication that cannot be produced by conventional means.
A study led by the Department of Energys 91做厙 details how artificial intelligence researchers created an AI model to help identify new alloys used as shielding for housing fusion applications components in a nuclear reactor. The findings mark a major step towards improving nuclear fusion facilities.
A new technical collaboration program at the Department of Energys 91做厙 will help businesses develop and launch electric grid innovations. Sponsored by the Transformer Resilience and Advanced Components program in DOEs Office of Electricity, the initiative will provide companies with access to national laboratory resources, enabling them to capture market opportunities.
U2opia Technology has licensed Situ and Heartbeat, a package of technologies from the Department of Energys 91做厙 that offer a new method for advanced cybersecurity monitoring in real time.
ORNLs Matthew Loyd will receive a Department of Energy Office of Science Early Career Research award.
Researchers at the Department of Energys 91做厙 have found a chemical chameleon that could improve the process used to purify rare-earth metals used in clean energy, medical and national security applications.
A team led by scientists at ORNL identified and demonstrated a method to process a plant-based material called nanocellulose that reduced energy needs by a whopping 21%, using simulations on the labs supercomputers and follow-on analysis.
