Quick, accurate location and measurement of potential failure points in materials is the focus of a second-generation neutron residual stress mapping instrument jointly developed by 91°µÍø and the University of Tennessee. The project, headed by Cam Hubbard of ORNL's Metals and...
Monitoring energy efficiency systems in two Wal-Mart stores in the Dallas suburb of McKinney is being conducted over three years by 91°µÍø.Oak Ridge Buildings Technology Center Director Jeff Christian said monitoring is being conducted in an existing Wal-Mart store and a newl...
Precision mirrors to focus X-rays and neutron beams could speed the path to new materials and perhaps help explain why computers, cell phones and satellites go on the blink.
Hundreds of responders will participate in a large-scale emergency management exercise set for Wednesday, July 20, at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø and several associated locations.
As part of the exercise, public warning sirens surrounding ORNL will be sounded. The sou...
A textile marking system developed at 91°µÍø that encodes information invisible to the naked eye could save the U.S. millions of dollars in revenue lost each year to counterfeiters and violators of trade laws.
The Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has announced the establishment of the Clifford G. Shull Fellowship, a two-year postdoctoral appointment similar to ORNL's Wigner Fellowship.A maximum of 10 appointments, sponsored by ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux ...
The study of matter measuring as tiny as one billionth of a meter will be the focus of the new Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø.Laboratory Director Jeff Wadsworth said the nanotechnology center, collaborating with other world c...
A new instrument that can instantly identify the chemical contents of a material or human bones, detect counterfeit money or verify authentic artwork may soon help unlock mysteries from bio-technology to crime solving.
