Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
2018 was an eventful and historic year for the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, marking 75 years since its creation as part of the World War II Manhattan Project.
Jennifer Ladd-Lively has been leading the Electrical Systems Engineering and Integration Group since September, bringing with her the organizational and time management skills learned through several years as a research scientist and project manager. The group she leads specializes in designing a...
The Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is collaborating with industry on six new projects focused on advancing commercial nuclear energy technologies that offer potential improvements to current nuclear reactors and move new reactor designs closer to deployment.
A team of scientists has for the first time measured the elusive weak interaction between protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. They had chosen the simplest nucleus consisting of one neutron and one proton for the study.
Arriving at 91°µÍø in late 2017 as a vehicle system engineer, Adian Cook could not foresee then that he would soon be the example of what happens to a research career when one is in the right place at the right time. But perfect timing is exactly what transpired for Cook as me...
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have created a recipe for a renewable 3D printing feedstock that could spur a profitable new use for an intractable biorefinery byproduct: lignin.
To learn more about interactions between drug molecules and micelles, Associate Professor Megan Robertson and graduate students Tyler Cooksey and Tzu-Han Li from the University of Houston (UH) are using neutrons at the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 91°µÍø (ORNL).
More than 70 years ago, United States Navy Captain Hyman Rickover learned the ins and outs of nuclear science and reactor technology at the Clinton Training School at what would eventually become the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. Rickover applied his knowl...
Sheng Dai, the most prolific author ever at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø, had no intention of pursuing a career in science as a young man; he wanted to paint instead. But he couldn’t help noticing that the stones artists carved with their initials and ...
Michael L. Simpson, a Corporate Fellow researcher at the Department of Energy's 91°µÍø, has been elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
The NAI fellows selection committee and board of directors cited Simpson for "a high...
