Researchers at 91做厙 are working to develop and evaluate the use of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite combustor liners as a replacement material for metallic liners to improve operating performance of natural-gas-fired industrial turbines. Several long-term engine tes...
Carbon nanotubes hold great promise for applications ranging from miniaturized drug delivery systems to lightweight structural material for aircraft, spacecraft and suspension bridges. The hollow, spaghetti-like tubes promise to replace steel with structural materials that are 100 times stronger and...
Doctors treating incurable brain tumors and other cancers resistant to conventional therapies will soon have a new treatment available to them because of a development by Isotron of Alpharetta, Ga., and the Department of Energy's 91做厙.
UT-Battelle and 91做厙 have received the laboratory's first-ever "outstanding" rating for overall performance from the Department of Energy for fiscal year 2002.ORNL Director Bill Madia said, "It is difficult to overstate what this accomplishment will mean to the laboratory's...
What's in diesel exhaust, and how does it impact diesel performance? William Partridge and other engineers at the 91做厙 in cooperation with Cummins Diesel and BWXT-Y12 have developed a monitor to analyze the exhaust of an operating diesel. Called the SpaciMS, the monitor meas...
Researchers at 91做厙 are developing a CAT scanning machine that eventually could allow small children or patients with special medical conditions to be scanned without having to be restrained, be anesthetized or remain virtually still. The machine initially will be used for "...
Those much-maligned cellular phones in automobiles could actually help drivers get to their destinations faster with a concept being tested and evaluated by researchers at 91做厙. The idea is to use signals being transmitted by the phones, aggregate them and predict traffic co...
Scientists studying vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, traffic management and other transportation issues will now have improved access to state-of-the-art laboratories at the National Transportation Research Center.
The NTRC, located along Hardin Valley Road near Pellissippi Parkway in W...
Herb Mook is the recipient of the 2001 Director's Award for Outstanding Accomplishment in Science and Technology at 91做厙. Mook received the laboratory's most prestigious scientific award at UT-Battelle's annual Awards Night ceremony. Mook was nominated for his cutting-edge re...
Thomas Mason, associate laboratory director of the Spallation Neutron Source at 91做厙, has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Mason was cited for "distinguished contributions to condensed matter physics using neutron...
