Nanofibers yield stronger, tougher carbon fiber composites
Kai Xiao's work as a staff scientist at ORNLâs Center for Nanophase Materials Science gives him access to some of the worldâs most powerful tools to investigate materials as small as one-billionth of a meter, or at the nanoscale.
He joins multidisciplinary teams to explore a va...
At the confluence of energy and ecology is where Henriette âYettaâ Jager has found her calling. A senior scientist in the Environmental Sciences Division, Yetta uses models to look for win-win opportunities to produce more energy without harming fish and wildlife. Yettaâs research for the US D...
Researchers at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have released the largest-ever single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset of genetic variations in poplar trees, information useful to plant scientists
UT-Battelle, the managing contractor for the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, made the final installment of a $250,000 pledge by presenting a $50,000 check in late December to the Emory Valley Center, a community facility that serves people w...
Scientists at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a simple, reliable process to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, offering a new option for carbon capture and storage strategies to combat global warming.
Initia...
Oak Ridge National Laboratory experts are playing leading roles in the recently established Department of Energyâs (DOEâs) Exascale Computing Project (ECP), a multi-lab initiative responsible for developing the strategy, aligning the resources, and conducting the R&D necessary to achieve the nationâs imperative of delivering exascale computing by 2021.
Brian Davison has advice for anyone planning a long career in science, gleaned from more than three decades in the field: Appreciate the âeurekaâ moments, both big and small.
âYou donât find joy every day in any job, but if I find a moment at least once or twice a month, it make...
Hundreds of tables and plots from papers published about superconductivity are the focus of a Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter review paper that condenses this data into a single graph. âWe were able to find a pattern throughout many scientistsâ work that was never recognized b...
Strategic thinning of forests in the Pacific Northwest and other parts of the United States plagued by fires could produce benefits on multiple levels, according to Rebecca Novello, a researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In a collaboration with Pacific Northwest National La...
From machine learning to neuromorphic architectures that enable greater computing flexibility and utility, Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are pushing boundaries with Titan. âWeâre using deep learning to advance the state of the art in several challenging fields such as c...
