Directors of two new divisions have been named at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Four different areas of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) are featured in this spring's series of five nature walks.
A growing number of plug-in hybrid electric cars and trucks could require major new power generation resources or none at all? depending on when people recharge their automobiles. A recent Oak Ridge National Laboratory study, featured in the current issue of the ORNL Review examined how an expect...
Tiny organisms play a powerful role in removing nitrate, a form of nitrogen pollution caused by human activity, in streams, according to a study by a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and published in Nature.In the first phase of the study, which involved 31 aquatic scientists from across t...
Noted "green energy" entrepreneur K.R. Sridhar will be the keynote speaker at this year's Global Venture Challenge, a business competition and venture forum to be held April 2-4 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The focus of this year's event is on energy-related technologies and companies...
ORNL's collaborations with DOE's Joint Genome Institute, located in Walnut Creek, Calif., continue. The JGI-led genome analysis of the symbiotic fungus Laccaria bicolor was published in Nature early this month. The Environmental Sciences Division's Jerry Tuskan helped lead the international effort ...
A destructive spring freeze that chilled the eastern United States almost a year ago illustrates the threat a warming climate poses to plants and crops, according to a paper just published in the journal BioScience. The study was led by a team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Latin American nations could become important suppliers of ethanol for world markets in coming decades, according to an Oak Ridge National Laboratory study released recently.
The report, "Biofuel Feedstock Assessment for Selected Countries," presents findings from research conducted in support of...
Want to sleuth out the secrets to plant behavior? You need a genomic signature, of course. Using the latest tools of genetic analysis, ORNL researchers have developed a way to determine why plants behave the way they do at a molecular level. The technique involves genetically analyzing plants expose...
Wireless systems able to monitor and perform diagnostics on motors used in industrial processes could improve production efficiency by 10 percent to 20 percent, according to Wayne Manges of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Industrial Technologies Program. "With electric motor-driven systems accountin...
