Nearly 100 commercial nuclear reactors supply one-fifth of Americaās energy. For each fuel rod in a reactor assembly, only 5 percent of its energy is consumed before fission can no longer be sustained efficiently for power production and the fuel assembly must be replaced. Power plan...
The global marketplace demands constant improvements in performance and efficiency of aircraft engines, power turbines and other modern mainstays of energy technology. This progress requires advanced structural materials, such as ceramic composites and metal alloys with higher-t...
A study led by the University of Tennessee and the Department of Energyās Oak Ridge National Laboratory could soon pay dividends in the development of materials with energy-related applications. Three UT researchersāMaik Lang, assistant professor
A novel technique known as in-situ plasma processing is helping scientists get more neutrons and better data for their experiments at the Spallation Neutron Source at the Department of Energyās Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
āPlasma cleaning is a well-known technique in electrosta...
About 30 Austin-East High School students from Knoxville participated in the National āMy Brotherās Keeper Dayā at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The goal of the White House initiative is designed to help boys and young men of color reach their full potential.

Three U.S. Department of Energy-funded research centers ā the BioEnergy Science Center (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (University of WisconsināMadison and Michigan State University), and the Joint BioEnergy Institute (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) ā are making progress on a shared mission to develop technologies that will bring advanced biofuels to the marketplace, reporting today the disclosure of their 500th invention.
Stacking layers of nanometer-thin semiconducting materials at different angles is a new approach to designing the next generation of energy-efficient transistors and solar cells. The atoms in each layer are arranged in hexagonal arrays. When two layers are stacked a...
Breaking down cellulosic biomass for biofuel is a costly and complex process, requiring lots of acid, water, and heat. Experimental pretreatments, however, hold the promise of driving down these costs by making more biomass available to enzymes for fermentation. To gain a better...
Fuel economy data, sticker price, emissions information, safety ratings and much more is available at your fingertips with the latest Find-a-Car tool, an app designed specifically for easy searches on mobile devices. FuelEconomy.gov, maintained by the Department of Energy with d...
Researchers are making leaps in understanding how viruses invade healthy cells by using a combination of ORNLās Titan supercomputer and Spallation Neutron Source. An ORNL research team is simulating the lipid bilayer, or cell membrane, and verifying these simulations with experi...
