Nanofibers yield stronger, tougher carbon fiber composites
The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility welcomed users to an interactive meeting at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory from Sept. 10â11 for an opportunity to share achievements from the OLCFâs user programs and highlight requirements for the future.
Nuclear physicists at the Department of Energyâs Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently used Frontier, the worldâs most powerful supercomputer, to calculate the magnetic properties of calcium-48âs atomic nucleus.
The worldâs fastest supercomputer helped researchers simulate synthesizing a material harder and tougher than a diamond â or any other substance on Earth. The study used Frontier to predict the likeliest strategy to synthesize such a material, thought to exist so far only within the interiors of giant exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system.
The contract will be awarded to develop the newest high-performance computing system at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility.
Researchers at ORNL and the University of Maine have designed and 3D-printed a single-piece, recyclable natural-material floor panel tested to be strong enough to replace construction materials like steel.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists ingeniously created a sustainable, soft material by combining rubber with woody reinforcements and incorporating âsmartâ linkages between the components that unlock on demand.
John Lagergren, a staff scientist in Oak Ridge National Laboratoryâs Plant Systems Biology group, is using his expertise in applied math and machine learning to develop neural networks to quickly analyze the vast amounts of data on plant traits amassed at ORNLâs Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory.
A team led by researchers at ORNL explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from the worldâs fastest supercomputer. The findings could help guide training for a new generation of AI models for scientific research.
When scientists pushed the worldâs fastest supercomputer to its limits, they found those limits stretched beyond even their biggest expectations. In the latest milestone, a team of engineers and scientists used Frontier to simulate a system of nearly half a trillion atoms â the largest system ever modeled and more than 400 times the size of the closest competition.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and six other Department of Energy national laboratories have developed a United States-based perspective for achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
