Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
The new Energy bill signed by President Bush emphasizes the need for greater energy efficiency and promoting alternative fuel technology. 91°µÍø engineer Johnny Green says the bill will help Oak Ridge to enhance ethanol and diesel technologies. "Some of the research that...
A Las Vegas business and 91°µÍø are improving the odds for people medically at risk from dehydration or congestive heart failure.
The task for ORNL researchers Chuck Britton, Nance Ericson and Gary Alley was to improve and miniaturize Noninvasive Medical Technologies' ZOE, ...
Three scientists at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø--including the laboratory's director--have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS).The new APS fellows are ORNL Director Thom Mason, nuclear physicist Krzysztof Piotr Rykaczewski and materials scientist...
91°µÍø has received $2.5 million from the Department of Energy as part of a new Technology Commercialization and Deployment Program to help bring energy efficient and renewable energy innovations to market. Technology transfer officials at the lab worked with DOE's Energy Eff...
Artificial teeth and crowns made of ceramic material are doomed to fail ? usually within six to 10 years ? but that may change because of a technique that borrows from nature. A group led by Claus Daniel of 91°µÍø's Materials Science and Technology Division has discovered that...
Just a few months after the Spallation Neutron Source announced a new world's record for beam power, its sister neutron facility at DOE's 91°µÍø„ the High Flux Isotope Reactor„ can boast a record of its own. HFIR's new cold source is producing more cold neutrons than expected a...
One obstacle to increased use of E85 will fall when Underwriters Laboratories begins certifying fuel dispensers, and 91°µÍø researchers are contributing data that could fuel the process. While E85, an alcohol fuel mixture, can help meet the goal of displacing 20 percent of gas...
The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø has set a world record for concentration of cold neutrons that are used to study materials.Oak Ridge's Ron Crone says the high resolution intensity of the neutrons can study a material's ...
A water repellent developed by researchers at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø outperforms nature at its best and could open a floodgate of commercial possibilities. The super-water repellent (superhydrophobic) material, developed by John Simpson, is easy to fabricate an...
Diagnosing back problems and predicting the outcome of surgery could become a lot more accurate because of a project awarded to 91°µÍø, the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt. With an estimated 80 percent to 90 percent of people in the United States experiencing lower back...
