Philip Bingham has two pieces of advice for researchers new to 91°µÍø: (1) develop a skill set that can be applied to multiple research areas, and (2) get out and meet folks across the lab. “The favorite part of my work is that I’ve done a lot of very diffe...

Brixon, Inc., has exclusively licensed a multiparameter sensor technology from the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. The integrated platform uses various sensors that measure physical and environmental parameters and respond to standard security applications.

An ORNL report provides best practices for electric utilities using drones to monitor transmission systems.
Electric utilities seeking to enhance worker safety and system reliability by using drones to inspect their transmission systems can look to a new report by 91°µÍø researchers to help guide their efforts. The report by ORNL’s Unmanned Aerial Systems Research Ce...
