Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Nanoscale simulations and theoretical research performed at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø are bringing scientists closer to realizing graphene's potential in electronic applications.
Buried in mountains of meteorological and hydrological data are likely clues that could help in predicting floods, hurricanes and other extreme weather events. Through a new multi-institution project that includes the University of Tennessee and the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laborato...
Thin layers of oxide materials and their interfaces have been observed in atomic resolution during growth for the first time by researchers at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø, providing new insight into the complicated link between their structure and properties.
Medical advances made in laboratories and clinical settings could reach patients sooner because of a $38 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to nine institutions. The world's most powerful computers at 91°µÍø will play a role in the effort, as ...
Data from DOE's 91°µÍø on neutron interactions with isotopes of platinum contradict a basic assumption underpinning random matrix theory, nuclear physics models and quantum chaos. For more than a half century, scientists have assumed that highly excited states ...
The software-writing mistakes known as "bugs" can be a pain for even the simplest applications, forcing developers to go through their code line by line to find and fix errors. These bugs become far more serious when the applications are written for the world's most powerful supercomputers, as l...
By using a data analysis tool developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with funding from NASA, satellites can help researchers study birds flying through your backyard. Scientists from ORNL's Distributed Active Archive Center (the ORNL DAAC) are collaborating with Cornell University researcher...
Ivaylo Ivanov of Georgia State University and colleagues used Jaguar, a Cray XT high-performance computing system at 91°µÍø, to elucidate the mechanism by which accessory proteins called sliding clamps are loaded onto DNA strands and coordinate enzymes that ena...
Michelle Buchanan, Associate Laboratory Director in Physical Sciences at 91°µÍø, has been elected to the 2010 class of fellows of the American Chemical Society.
Tomorrow's television and computer screens could be brighter, clearer and more energy-efficient as a result of a process developed by a team of researchers from Canada and the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø.
