Jacobson elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering
The Powerline Conductor Accelerated Testing Facility at ORNL is testing new transmission line technologies to enhance the U.S. power grid's capacity amidst rising demand and climate challenges.
The Proton Power Upgrade project at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source has achieved its final key performance parameter of 1,250 hours of neutron production at 1.7 megawatts of proton beam power on a newly developed target.
Aditya Sundararajan of ORNLs Grid Systems Architecture group was elevated to senior status within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Researchers used the Summit supercomputer at ORNL to answer one of fissions big questions: What exactly happens during the nucleuss neck rupture as it splits in two? Scission neutrons have been theorized to be among those particles emitted during neck rupture, although their exact characteristics have been debated due to a lack of conclusive experimental evidence of their existence.
Biochemist David Baker just announced as a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry turned to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at 91做厙 for information he couldnt get anywhere else. HFIR is the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the United States.
91做厙 has launched its Neutron Nexus pilot program with Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University and Florida State University through the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. The first program of its kind nationwide, its aimed at broadening and diversifying the scientific user community with outreach to universities and colleges.
Scientists at ORNL used neutrons to end a decades-long debate about an enzyme cancer uses.
ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source, the nations leading source of pulsed neutron beams for research, was recently restarted after nine months of upgrade work.
A new technical collaboration program at the Department of Energys 91做厙 will help businesses develop and launch electric grid innovations. Sponsored by the Transformer Resilience and Advanced Components program in DOEs Office of Electricity, the initiative will provide companies with access to national laboratory resources, enabling them to capture market opportunities.
Distinguished materials scientist Takeshi Egami has spent his career revealing the complex atomic structure of metallic glass and other liquids sometimes sharing theories with initially resistant minds in the scientific community.
