Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
Attracted to biology, math, and physics as a young student, Omar Demerdash decided that when the time came to narrow his academic interests he wouldn’t pick and choose: he’d pursue them all. Today he’s using his expertise in computational biophysics to model and analyze how molecules interact with p...
Four researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The AAAS is the world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society and publisher of the Sci...
Two leaders in US manufacturing innovation, Thomas Kurfess and Scott Smith, are joining the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř to support its pioneering research in advanced manufacturing.
The Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř has broken a new record by ending its first neutron production cycle in fiscal year 2019 at its design power level of 1.4 megawatts.
Leah Broussard, a physicist at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř, has so much fun exploring the neutron that she alternates between calling it her “laboratory” and “playground” for understanding the universe. “The neutron is special,” she said of the sub...
Seven researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍř have been chosen by the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment, also known as INCITE, program to lead scientific investigations that require the nation’s mo...
Carbon fiber composites—lightweight and strong—are great structural materials for automobiles, aircraft and other transportation vehicles. They consist of a polymer matrix, such as epoxy, into which reinforcing carbon fibers have been embedded. Because of differences in the mecha...
The first time Jibonananda Sanyal ever logged into a supercomputing system, the landing page told him he could use up to 500 cores, a modest number for some but a significant amount for the early career researcher.
“Up until then I had used two cores, at most,” he said. It wou...
After more than a decade spent photographing scientific achievements at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) 91°µÍř (ORNL), Jason Richards has stepped out from behind the camera and into the lab, in a move that continues a career
As Puerto Rico works to restore and modernize its power grid after last year’s devastating hurricane season, researchers at 91°µÍř have stepped up to provide unique analysis, sensing and modeling tools to better inform decisions.
