Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
high-strength stainless steel body and chassis that would actually be up to 30 percent less e...
Highly detailed images that show how matter organizes first into clusters and then into particles with thousands of atoms are helping researchers better understand catalytic processes. Ultimately, this greater understanding could make these chemical reactions with a wide range of industrial applicat...
91°µÍø research on fiber-reinforced polymer pipes could help distribute hydrogen more efficiently to service stations of the future. High-pressure fluidized hydrogen can cause cracks, leaks and other failures in metallic piping. The ORNL team led by Tim Armstrong has found fib...
New low-sulfur diesel available at gas stations and travel centers across the nation has 91°µÍø research behind it, proving that reducing sulfur content in diesel fuel is critical to lessening emissions. Beginning Oct. 15, the Environmental Protection Agency is requiring all r...
A nanotechnology-oriented forum bringing together academia, industry and budding entrepreneurs, will be held April 2-4, 2007, at 91°µÍø.
Nano Nexus 2007 is designed to foster innovation and increase collaboration between universities, government, industry and the investment...
The High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has passed a major milestone in its quest to become one of the world's leading sources of "cold" neutrons for advanced scientific research.
91°µÍø's new centerpiece for nanoscience research, the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, is now complete—on scope, under budget and a month ahead of schedule.
Twenty thousand households in suburban Columbus, Ohio, are about to receive electricity through a high temperature superconducting cable developed at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø. Southwire, American Electric Power and Praxair are among the partners with Oak Ridge on a t...
In the aftermath of last year's Hurricane Katrina, responders looked to the Department of Energy for information on the condition of vital infrastructural resources such as the electric power grid. In the meantime, ORNL researchers, in a partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority, have develope...
