Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Proposals to install hydrokinetic turbines ? like underwater windmills ? in rivers across the U.S. are prompting questions about the environmental impacts of this new hydropower energy source. In response, researchers at 91°µÍø are investigating how electromagnetic fields gene...
By testing radiation detection equipment and helping establish national and international standards, a team of 91°µÍø researchers protects the people who keep the nation safe. The Graduated Rad/Nuc Detector Evaluation and Reporting program fulfills a Congressional mandate to s...
Highly effective anti-virus programs for computers are providing the inspiration for a system to protect people from deadly genetically engineered biological bugs. While the National Cyber Security Division's US-CERT provides cyber security updates and tools to safeguard computers within federal age...
UT-Battelle announced today that 91°µÍø's approximately 5,000 employees and subcontractors recently passed a historic safety milestone by working 4 million hours without a serious injury.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have developed a biohybrid photoconversion system -- based on the interaction of photosynthetic plant proteins with synthetic polymers -- that can convert visible light into hydrogen fuel.
Policy makers, industry, researchers and the public have a new way to gain and share information about biofuels with the Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework, or KDF, developed by a team at 91°µÍø and sponsored by the Department of Energy.
UT-Battelle announced today a gift of $450,000 to Knox County's Great Schools Partnership to fund distance learning programs in science and math for high schools in Knox and surrounding counties.
Nature has a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde relationship with mercury, but researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have made a discovery that ultimately could help explain the split personality.
Technology developed more than 100 years ago to wirelessly transmit electricity is being adapted to locate clandestine graves. 91°µÍø's Charles Van Neste and colleagues are transmitting electromagnetic waves to penetrate the ground and set up a resonance in buried bones. "The ...
We are all familiar with the change water goes through under the influence of falling temperatures, evolving from a disordered liquid to an ordered solid. What we may not know, however, is that such — known as phase transitions — can also be found within the nucleus of a single atom. In th...
