Researchers at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory used neutrons to uncover novel behavior in materials that holds promise for quantum computing. The findings, published in Nature Materials, provide evidence for long-sought phenomena in a two-dim...
Researchers at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a potential path to further improve solar cell efficiency by understanding the competition among halogen atoms during the synthesis of sunlight-absorbing crystals.
Minimizing the impact on freight movement when events like Hurricane Sandy happen is the focus of an Oak Ridge National Laboratory ongoing study led by Marc Fialkoff, a researcher in the Geographic Information Science and Technology Group. âIn the aftermath of disasters, planners and...
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Uppsala University, researchers have done the scientific equivalent by using, rather than eliminating, flaws inherent to electron microscopy to create probes for performing novel atomic-level spectroscopy.
Clothes dryers that use thermoelectric heat pump technology being developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and industry partner Sheetak could use 40 percent less energy, potentially saving consumers $3 billion in utility costs. âEach month, electric clothes dryers typically consume more energy than any other household appliance,â said Kyle Gluesenkamp, who leads the development team for ORNLâs Building Equipment Research Group.
Fish communities recovering from environmental disturbances could potentially face obstacles presented by road culverts and equipment used to monitor water quality, according to an Oak Ridge National Laboratory study conducted over two decades. Researchers Ryan McManamay and Robert J...

Atomic charges in chemical solutions are like Switzerlandâthey strive for neutrality. The tendency to balance charges drives dynamics when charged atoms or molecules, called ions, are present in solutions. Recently, researchers at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laborat...
Four more nature walks are planned this spring on the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge Reservation beginning with a wildflower walk at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, April 10.
Participants will see many native spring wildflowers in the woods along the bluffs of Watts Bar Lake...
Lipid molecules have split personalitiesâone part loves water, whereas the other avoids it at all costs. Lipids make up cell membranes, the frontline defense in preventing cellular access to bacterial and viral invaders.
Many researchers believe that the membrane is not just a scaf...
A 20-kilowatt wireless charging system demonstrated at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory has achieved 90 percent efficiency at three times the rate of the plug-in systems commonly used for electric vehicles today. This ability can help acc...
