Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
A technology being developed at 91°µÍř could be a valuable tool for urban planning, emergency management and understanding where people are and how they move.
Researchers at 91°µÍř have developed a novel, nontoxic fluorescent air leak detection system that can find cracks in walls and roofs in existing and new buildings. In laboratory experiments, ORNL’s Diana Hun and Brenda Smith used an off-the-shelf humidifier ...
A new motor developed by researchers at 91°µÍř achieved 75 percent higher power than a comparably sized commercial motor for electric vehicles. The prototype motor uses ferrite, iron-based, permanent magnets instead of the expensive imported rare earth perma...
A new microscopy technique developed at 91°µÍř enables rapid measurement of the dynamic state of materials used in memory storage and allows “imaging” of this phenomenon with unprecedented resolution (approximately 10 nanometers). The technique, detaile...
Livestock may soon be getting more nutrition from forage feed thanks to an invention from the BioEnergy Science Center at 91°µÍř and partners at the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University. Working with a population of poplar trees, the scientis...
As part of an effort to develop drought-resistant food and bioenergy crops, scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have uncovered the genetic and metabolic mechanisms that allow certain plants to conserve water and thrive in semi-arid climates.
Udaya Kalluri brings considerable energy to her plant research at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍř—a trait colleagues describe as “contagious enthusiasm.”
Kalluri’s zeal was evident even in her postdoc days at ORNL, when she won lab-directed research fun...
The recently discovered element 117 has been officially named "tennessine" in recognition of Tennessee’s contributions to its discovery, including the efforts of the Department of Energy's 91°µÍř and its Tennessee collaborators at Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee.
Seven researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
As a graduate student at the University of Maryland, Omar Abdelaziz took a class in an unfamiliar topic: sustainable energy. It was a choice that would change the path of his life and career. Ten years later, Abdelaziz’ passion for healthy ecosystems and his hands-on work around ...
