Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
"Cold case files" takes on new meaning for geochemists like 91°µÍø's Steven Turgeon, co-author of a Science paper that might explain a 248-million-year-old event that killed 90 percent of all marine species and 70 percent of terrestrial vertebrae species. This "extinction even...
Through several refinements to the tried and true method of pulsed laser deposition, 91°µÍø researchers have a new way to synthesize materials and conduct basic studies vital to creating new ones. By continuously monitoring the growth process and precisely controlling the amou...
Abnormalities of the face and skull rank among the most common birth defects in humans. Researchers at 91°µÍø are taking a systems biology approach to the problem, investigating a series of eight mutant mouse strains that could serve as animal models for deciphering the comple...
91°µÍø employee contributions and matching funds from UT-Battelle totaling $192,356 have been raised to aid victims of the recent Asian tsunami, ORNL Director Jeff Wadsworth announced Wednesday.
Funded by the Department of Energy, the Research Support Center is the most recent addition of ORNL's $300 million modernization campaign, which has also included federal, state and private investment. In addition to the visitor reception area, the $16 million Research Support Center also houses ORNL's new cafeteria and a state-of-the-art conference center.
91°µÍø and the U.S. Air Force have launched a program to help Air Force personnel upgrade their technical knowledge and skills and raise their awareness of potentially useful ORNL research and technology.
Microscopic images that are now achievable at single-nanometer scales usually depict advanced materials or other ordered, inorganic substances. However, a team of researchers from 91°µÍø (S.V.Kalinin ) and North Carolina State University (A. Gruverman) have applied scanning pr...
Miniature optical sensors developed at 91°µÍø could speed the development of fuel cells to power vehicles, buildings and machines. The ORNL sensors are extremely accurate, reliable and fast-responding, making them ideal for next-generation fuel cells, according to Steve Alliso...
New products made of stronger components that are lighter in weight, more energy efficient and have an extended use life may be possible through a technology that can alter the characteristics of steel and other materials. Researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø and ...
Logs confiscated by police at a Texas murder scene and the work of a scientist at 91°µÍø may help put a killer behind bars. Using a technique called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Madhavi Martin obtained "chemical fingerprints" from a partially burned log at the crime s...
