Jacobson elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering
Researchers at ORNL tested a quantum computing approach to an old challenge: solving canonical fluid dynamics problems. The study relied on support from the Quantum Computing User Program, part of ORNLās Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. The results highlight avenues for further study of quantum computingās potential to aid scientific discovery.
During a recent visit to ORNL, several OASA (IE&E) representatives explored the ORNLās leadership in advanced nuclear energy development to inform the design and construction of a microreactor to power mission-critical facilities at two Army bases.
In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Securityās Science and Technology Directorate, researchers at ORNL are evaluating technology to detect compounds emitted by pathogens and pests in agricultural products at the nationās border.
ORNLās Miaofang Chi and Rigoberto 'Gobet' Advincula have been elected as Class of 2025 Fellows of the Materials Research Society. Chi was recognized for advancing novel electron microscopy methods for studying energy materials, while Advincula was honored for his contributions to research on advanced polymers and nanostructured materials.
Scientists at ORNL have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real time ā helping to pave the way for the deployment of molten salt reactors for energy production.
Professionals from government and industry gathered at ORNL for the Nondestructive Assay Holdup Measurements Training Course for Nuclear Criticality Safety, a hands-on training in nondestructive assay, a technique for detecting and quantifying holdup without disturbing operations.
US ITER has completed delivery of all components for the support structure of the central solenoid, the 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet that is the āheartā of the ITER fusion machine.
To help reduce the likelihood of losing future cultivated crops to drought and other seasonal hardships, researchers from ORNL, Budapest and Hungary are using neutrons, light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to study the 'Never Never' plant, known for its ability to endure periods of little to no rain.
Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called nucleotide excision repair. Decoding NERās sophisticated sequence of events and the role of PInC in the pathway could provide key insights into developing novel treatments and preventing conditions that lead to premature aging and certain types of cancer.
ORNL took part in the ā1,000 Scientists AI Jam Session,ā a first-of-its-kind virtual event that brought together leading scientists from nine national laboratories to test generative artificial intelligence models for their functionality in scientific research.
