Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
U.S. Forest Service and 91°µÍø scientists have found that rising levels of ozone may amplify the impacts of higher temperatures and reduce streamflow from forests to rivers, streams and other water bodies. Such effects could potentially reduce water supplies available to suppo...
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) 91°µÍø launched a new era of scientific supercomputing today with Titan, a system capable of churning through more than 20,000 trillion calculations each second—or 20 petaflops—by employing a family of processors called graphic processing units first created for computer gaming.
91°µÍø raised more than $914,000 in its 2012 United Way campaign, which supports charitable agencies throughout the area.
Nano-ribbons of silicon configured so the atoms resemble chicken wire could hold the key to ultrahigh density data storage and information processing systems of the future.
A team from the University of California at Santa Barbara has used NOMAD, the new Nanoscale-Ordered Materials Diffractometer at the Spallation Neutron Source at 91°µÍø, to study the potential of a green-yellow emitting oxyfluoride solid solution phosphor for high-quality solid...
Through a cooperative research and development agreement, Hinds Instruments and 91°µÍø are refining a microscope that can play a role in the success of next-generation nuclear reactors. The 2-MGEM microscope, which won an R&D 100 Award in 2008, delivers unsurpassed performance...
Fueleconomy.gov's new "My Trip Calculator" () is an interactive trip calculator and mapping tool that helps travelers plan a route, pick a car and estimate fuel cost for the trip. My Trip Calculator prompts users to enter a start and destination address, set the city ...
When a storm knocks out power, among the first questions to be answered are how many people are affected and when electricity will be restored. 91°µÍø's Energy Awareness and Resiliency Standardized Services application, or EARSS, uses publicly available data and can help by sh...
UT-Battelle today presented Second Harvest Food Bank with the first $20,000 installment of a three-year commitment of $60,000 to help the local organization feed hungry East Tennesseans. UT-Battelle, which manages 91°µÍø for the Department...
A team led by 91°µÍø's Ho Nyung Lee has discovered a strain relaxation phenomenon in cobaltites that has eluded researchers for decades and may lead to advances in fuel cells, magnetic sensors and a host of energy-related materials.
