Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
SensorPedia, a writeable Web site in development at 91°µÍø, solves a huge problem by giving emergency responders and decision-makers access to data from diverse sensor networks in near real time.Bryan Gorman of ORNL's Computational Sciences and Engineering Division notes...
Energy is the theme of a business competition and venture forum to be held for the second year at 91°µÍø under a new name, Global Venture Challenge.Formerly called Nano Nexus, the event has been broadened this year to embrace a wider suite of technologies coming out of resear...
Saed Mirzadeh, whose work at 91°µÍø has led to development of new treatments for cancer and other diseases, is the recipient of the American Nuclear Society's 2007 Seaborg Medal Award.
91°µÍø Director Thom Mason will present a Community Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, October 4, at the American Museum of Science and Energy. The talk, which is free and open to the public, will update residents of Oak Ridge and the surrounding area on ORNL's progress and chall...
The Department of Energy's new BioEnergy Science Center, to be located at 91°µÍø, will receive its first funding of $6.7 million. The fiscal year 2007 funds put the BioEnergy Science Center on a fast track to begin research on development of plant-derived biofuels. The center ...
Solar energy will be in the spotlight as researchers, engineers, architects and other renewable energy experts from the region convene at 91°µÍø Oct. 24-25 for the first Southeast Solar Summit.
With today's unprecedented demands for power—as demonstrated by this summer's Southern heat wave—superconducting technology promises to turn on an electricity faucet and expand the current capacity of the nation's power grid. Key to that transition, is development of new and improved insulating mate...
Different zests for beer might reveal more about alcohol's effect on the brain reward system than inherent differences in taste sensitivity, according to findings by a group of researchers led by Judy Grisel of Furman University. In a study using mice at 91°µÍø, Grisel and ORN...
Band excitation, a new family of scanning probe microscopy, moves the field towards probing energy transformation at the nanoscale, say the developers. Conventional scanning probe microscopes measure the cantilever's movements over the surface of a material at only one single frequency. Band excitat...
The Department of Energy's Spallation Neutron Source, which recently set a record for beam power for a pulsed neutron source while operating at only a tenth of its eventual 1.4 megawatts of power, has added a fourth instrument to its growing arsenal. The Wide Angular-Range Chopper Spectrometer (ARC...
