Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Touting potential economic benefits to Tennessee, the state's head of economic development helped dedicate a new $10 million facility Friday to house the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences at 91°µÍø. The new 52,000-square-foot building establishes a unique partnership...
91°µÍø's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), one of the world's most powerful research reactors, is marking a milestone this month -- its 400th fuel cycle since it began operation in 1966.A fuel cycle represents the time -- about 25 days -- it takes for the reactor
Tomorrow's engines could boast greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions because of a system being developed by 91°µÍø. New ORNL test data shows that spark-assisted homogeneous charge compression ignition has a 12 percent improvement in fuel efficiency and a 95 percent reduc...
A one-step process to separate cesium and strontium from caustic waste could possibly lead to significant savings in processing, transportation and storage of some 34 million gallons of nuclear waste at the Savannah River Site. Laetitia Delmau of 91°µÍø's Chemical Sciences Div...
Jeffery C. Blackmon of 91°µÍø is one of five Department of Energy recipients of the latest Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), presented today in a White House ceremony.
Oak Ridge is a long way from Memphis, but 91°µÍø technology soon could have more of a presence in the state's largest city, ORNL Director Jeff Wadsworth said Friday.
This month the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) began commissioning the next section of the linear accelerator (linac). The SNS linac consists of four different types of accelerators, the one being tested is the drift-tube linac (DTL). Testing consists of generating a pulsed current of negative hydr...
Researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have developed a nanoscale technology for investigating biomolecular processes in single living cells.
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Environmental Research Park will host a series of walks for birdwatchers to be held from 7 until 10:30 a.m. Saturdays, April 24, May 1 and May 8.Jim Evans, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officer assigned to Oak Ridge's DOE Reservation, said the wa...
Scientists and researchers at universities and Department of Energy labs around the nation are closer to being connected via high-speed networks that live up to their promise because of an agreement between 91°µÍø and National LambdaRail.
The goal of the project is to estab...
