Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
A method of monitoring roots rarely used in wetlands will help 91°µÍø researchers effectively study the response of a high-carbon ecosystem to elevated temperatures and levels of carbon dioxide.
The Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has awarded a contract to Cray Inc. to increase the Jaguar supercomputer's science impact and energy efficiency. The upgrade, which will provide advanced capabilities in modeling and simulation, will transform the DOE Office of Science-suppor...
People who engage in illegal activities using the file sharing capabilities of BitTorrent could one day face prosecution because of a technology being developed at 91°µÍø. Raymond Borges of the Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate is creating software tools to moni...
A new instrument able to detect chemical residues from a distance overcomes a number of problems that have plagued laser-based detectors of the past, according to Marissa Morales of 91°µÍø's Measurement Science and Systems Engineering Division. Using a tunable mid-infrared qua...
Sophisticated hackers who have enjoyed recent success infiltrating high-profile companies might not have been so fortunate if a new 91°µÍø system had been in place. The patented technology developed by Nathanael Paul's team introduces true randomness generated by a quantum phy...
In medical treatment, doctors often prefer to deliver multiple therapeutic compounds to parts of the human body by varying the coatings on the drugs so they are released in a time-resolved manner. Researchers using the liquids reflectometer at 91°µÍø's Spallation Neutron Sourc...
Industrial users from DuPont in Wilmington, Del., are working with neutron instruments at the Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor to solve materials problems that can't be solved in any other way. The materials industry researchers are confident their work at Oak Ridge National L...
Getting to the finish line quickest with the least environmental impact is what's driving the Green Racing initiative that has made its way to 91°µÍø. Through the program, fans of racing and the environment are learning about fast cars, energy efficiency and emissions. "Green ...
Molecular motion in proteins comes in three distinct classes, according to a collaboration by researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø and the University of Tennessee, in research reported in Physical Review Letters.
Crystals and ceramics pale when compared to a material researchers at 91°µÍø discovered that has 10 times their piezoelectric effect, making it suitable for perhaps hundreds of everyday uses.
