Flooding causes more damage to buildings throughout the United States„ — particularly residential buildings„ than any other single natural event. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found through tests that damage to homes from future flooding can be minimized through repair or renovation...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced today that Vanderbilt University has joined the laboratory's "core universities." ORNL's core universities — which now number seven — assume a scientific leadership role in working with the laboratory to help shape the research agenda for more than one billion...
Johney Boyd Green Jr., a researcher with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been recognized as one of the 50 most important black research scientists in America, according to the September issue of Science Spectrum magazine.Green, group leader of the Fuels, Engines and Em...
Sequencing the Populus genome represents a huge international success, and scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory expect it to sprout big gains in research involving alternative energy production and environmental restoration. Completion of the se...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers, using a state-of-the-art microscope and new computerized imaging technology, have pushed back the barrier of how small we can see--to a record, atom-scale 0.6 angstrom. ORNL, a Department of Energy national laboratory, also held the previous record, at 0.7 angstrom.
Jian Shen of Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a Department of Energy recipient of the latest Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), presented today in a White House ceremony.
Instant analysis of the composition of air particulates „ especially vital in an air quality emergency „ is possible with the Aerosol Plasma Spectrometer. Conventional methods used for air monitoring require samples to be taken from a site to a laboratory for analysis, taking anywhere from hours to ...
Studying how glasses react to extreme pressure helps scientists understand how their structure evolves. The research team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Chris Tulk used a newly designed pressure cell to exert 15 GPa (about 2,200,000 pounds per square inch) upon a sample of germania (GeO2) gl...
Natural methane hydrate deposits offer a potentially vast source of energy, greatly surpassing all known fossil fuel resources, but many questions and challenges remain before these deposits can be tapped. Clathrate hydrates, which consist of a gas molecule surrounded by a cage of water molecules to...
