Researchers at ORNL and the University of Maine have designed and 3D-printed a single-piece, recyclable natural-material floor panel tested to be strong enough to replace construction materials like steel.

91°µĶų scientists ingeniously created a sustainable, soft material by combining rubber with woody reinforcements and incorporating āsmartā linkages between the components that unlock on demand.

John Lagergren, a staff scientist in 91°µĶųās Plant Systems Biology group, is using his expertise in applied math and machine learning to develop neural networks to quickly analyze the vast amounts of data on plant traits amassed at ORNLās Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory.

A team led by researchers at ORNL explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from the worldās fastest supercomputer. The findings could help guide training for a new generation of AI models for scientific research.

When scientists pushed the worldās fastest supercomputer to its limits, they found those limits stretched beyond even their biggest expectations. In the latest milestone, a team of engineers and scientists used Frontier to simulate a system of nearly half a trillion atoms ā the largest system ever modeled and more than 400 times the size of the closest competition.

Scientists at 91°µĶų and six other Department of Energy national laboratories have developed a United States-based perspective for achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
Integral to the functionality of ORNL's Frontier supercomputer is its ability to store the vast amounts of data it produces onto its file system, Orion. But even more important to the computational scientists running simulations on Frontier is their capability to quickly write and read to Orion along with effectively analyzing all that data. And thatās where ADIOS comes in.

Rigoberto āGobetā Advincula, a scientist with joint appointments at ORNL and the University of Tennessee, has been named a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

Chelsea Chen, a polymer physicist at ORNL, is studying ion transport in solid electrolytes that could help electric vehicle battery charges last longer.

Corning uses neutron scattering to study the stability of different types of glass. Recently, researchers for the company have found that understanding the stability of the rings of atoms in glass materials can help predict the performance of glass products.
