ORNL has provided hydropower operators with new data to better prepare for extreme weather events and shifts in seasonal energy demands caused by climate change.

Researchers from ORNL, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Tuskegee University used mathematics to predict which areas of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein are most likely to mutate.

Scientists at ORNL have created a miniaturized environment to study the ecosystem around poplar tree roots for insights into plant health and soil carbon sequestration.

To further the potential benefits of the nation’s hydropower resources, researchers at 91°µÍø have developed and maintain a comprehensive water energy digital platform called HydroSource.

Although more than 92,000 dams populate the country, the vast majority — about 89,000 — do not generate electricity through hydropower.

As the United States moves toward more sustainable and renewable sources of energy, hydropower is expected to play a pivotal role in integrating more intermittent renewables like wind and solar to the electricity grid

Researchers at ORNL are teaching microscopes to drive discoveries with an intuitive algorithm, developed at the lab’s Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences, that could guide breakthroughs in new materials for energy technologies, sensing and computing.

A study led by researchers at ORNL could help make materials design as customizable as point-and-click.

A new Department of Energy report produced by 91°µÍø identifies several supply chain must-haves in maintaining the pivotal role hydropower will play in decarbonizing the nation’s grid.

A study by researchers at the ORNL takes a fresh look at what could become the first step toward a new generation of solar batteries.
