Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
to 3-fold for most scientific application codes running on extreme-scale hybrid supercomputers using code accelerators largely developed for the video game industry. The addition of graphics processing units to today's fastest central pr...
U.S. dependence on foreign oil could be further reduced with the introduction of a patented technology that efficiently converts biomass- derived alcohols to fuels that can power gasoline, diesel and jet engines. "Our Z-CAT-B catalysts represent a disruptive technology," said Chaitanya Narula, ...
A Tennessee company has licensed award-winning software from 91°µÍø that will help industries install wireless networks more cost-effectively in challenging environments such as mines, offshore drilling platforms and factory floors.
Environmental researchers who investigate climate change, invasive species, infectious diseases, and other data-intensive topics can now benefit from easy access to diverse datasets through technology released today by the Data Observation Network for Earth, or DataONE.
Paul Hanson and Brian Sales of the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø have been recognized as UT-Battelle Corporate Fellows. Only researchers who have made significant contributions to science and technological fields are recognized by this fellows...
Proteins' biological functions, such as the ability to metabolize drugs in our bodies, are known to rely heavily on the presence of water, but mechanisms behind the relationship have remained unclear. In a paper published in Physical Review Letters, researchers from 91°µÍø hav...
Intrusion detection is moving up a couple of notches with a technology that overcomes one of the main vulnerabilities of conventional security systems. 91°µÍø's Quantum Optical Seal, ideal for securing nuclear, military and chemical facilities, monitors an optical network for ...
By using graphic processing units in a test bed for the Titan supercomputer, researchers have more than tripled the speed of a code designed to improve efficiency, longevity and safety of nuclear reactors. The algorithm, dubbed Denovo, sweeps through a virtual reactor to track the location of radioa...
Fusion, climate, nuclear physics and advanced materials make up the fields of science that will be supported at 91°µÍø through the latest round of awards from the Department of Energy's Office of Science Early Career Research Program. Four ORNL staff members were among 68 scie...
A protective coating developed at 91°µÍø can extend the life of costly cutting and boring tools by more than 20 percent, potentially saving millions of dollars over the life of a project. The nanostructure coating, NanoSHIELD, is made from the laser fusing of glassy iron powde...
