Tuskan awarded Marcus Wallenberg Prize, forestry’s top honor
Ned Sauthoff, an Oak Ridge physicist leading the U.S. role in a global fusion energy project, has been named a Fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
ORNL engineers are working to convert their sunlight-based hybrid lighting technology into a multifunctional system that also produces electricity. Using advanced optics and concentrating photovoltaic materials, researchers are developing a system using the infrared portion of sunlight to generate e...

Characterization work by researchers at 91°µÍø has confirmed what Alpharetta, Ga., startup company C3 International founder Mark Deininger suspected. His company's nano-film coating is like none other and could have dozens of industrial applications. Through a High Temperature...
An electronic accountability system developed at 91°µÍø will result in savings of more than $2 million per year at one federal facility alone and will ensure 100 percent accountability of employees. A pilot test of the system, which uses radio frequency technology to tag and i...
Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee has awarded UT-Battelle its Corporate Donor of the Year Award.Second Harvest Executive Director Elaine Machilea says UT-Battelle has been a strong supporter of Second Harvest's many efforts, including a $50,000 contribution to help provide food and pe...
ORNL researchers performing basic research have discovered a carbon nanotube-based system that functions like an atom-scale switch. Their approach is to perform first-principles calculations on positioning a molecule inside a carbon nanotube to affect the electronic current flowing across it. The re...
A tiny microbe may hold the key to simpler, lower-cost production of ethanol from biomass sources such as trees, grasses and cornstalks. 91°µÍø researchers are studying a bacterium known as Clostridium thermocellum, which has the ability to both deg...
Decompositional odors released from corpses in clandestine graves are providing a chemical fingerprint that could help law enforcement officials find these burial sites and provide evidence that ultimately points to the victim's killer. A team led by Arpad Vass, a forensics expert in Oak Ridge Natio...
