Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
In fall 2020, Kairos Power selected Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to build its advanced nuclear reactor due to the area's strong nuclear expertise and infrastructure. This project, along with other new nuclear ventures like Ultra Safe Nuclear and Type One Energy, highlights a growing trend of nuclear industry resurgence in East Tennessee, supported by local and state investments aiming to make the region a major nuclear technology hub.
ORNL’s Luiz Leal of the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø is the recipient of the 2023 Seaborg Medal from the American Nuclear Society.
Since its inception in 2010, the program bolsters national scientific discovery by supporting early career researchers in fields pertaining to the Office of Science.
JungHyun Bae is a nuclear scientist studying applications of particles that have some beneficial properties: They are everywhere, they are unlimited, they are safe.
A team including researchers from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø has developed a digital tool to better monitor a condition known as Barrett’s esophagus, which affects more than 3 million people in the United States.
91°µÍø expertise in fission and fusion has come together to form a new collaboration, the Fusion Energy Reactor Models Integrator, or FERMI
Researchers at 91°µÍø have identified a statistical relationship between the growth of cities and the spread of paved surfaces like roads and sidewalks. These impervious surfaces impede the flow of water into the ground, affecting the water cycle and, by extension, the climate.
The combination of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could cost-effectively sequester hundreds of millions of metric tons per year of carbon dioxide in the United States, making it a competitive solution for carbon management, according to a new analysis by ORNL scientists.
Radioactive isotopes power some of NASA’s best-known spacecraft. But predicting how radiation emitted from these isotopes might affect nearby materials is tricky
A developing method to gauge the occurrence of a nuclear reactor anomaly has the potential to save millions of dollars.
