In the race to identify solutions to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø are joining the fight by applying expertise in computational science, advanced manufacturing, data science and neutron science.
UT-Battelle, the managing contractor of 91°µÍø for the U.S. Department of Energy, has donated $10,000 to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, providing 30,000 meals for those in need.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø have used Summit, the world’s most powerful and smartest supercomputer, to identify 77 small-molecule drug compounds that might warrant further study in the fight
Sometimes solutions to the biggest problems can be found in the smallest details. The work of biochemist Alex Johs at 91°µÍø bears this out, as he focuses on understanding protein structures and molecular interactions to resolve complex global problems like the spread of mercury pollution in waterways and the food supply.
Biologists from 91°µÍø and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center have confirmed that microorganisms called methanogens can transform mercury into the neurotoxin methylmercury with varying efficiency across species.
A team led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø has identified a novel microbial process that can break down toxic methylmercury in the environment, a fundamental scientific discovery that could potentially reduce mercury toxicity levels and sup...
An 91°µÍø study is providing an unprecedented watershed-scale understanding of mercury in soils and sediments. Researchers focused on evaluating mercury and soil properties along the banks of a mercury-contaminated stream in Oak Ridge, Tenn., sampling 145 loca...
Environmental scientists can more efficiently detect genes required to convert mercury in the environment into more toxic methylmercury with molecular probes developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø. “We now have a quic...
