The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) welcomed 60 graduate students and postdoctoral ...

LandScan Mosaic goes beyond a static population map—showing how people are distributed across a full 24-hour day, down to individual buildings, with uncertainty information that helps users understand ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) developed a new type of monitor that can check every minute or even every second for the buildup of nuclear ...

But these crucial Cf-252 production campaigns also yield very small amounts of radioisotopes that are highly sought after for research: isotopes of einsteinium (Es-253/254), berkelium (Bk-249) and ...

A: This is simultaneously a biology, chemistry, materials and analytical measurement challenge. ORNL brings to bear its unique multidisciplinary environment, including synthetic biology, computational ...

STAR Lab provides a translational research environment at a scale larger than conventional laboratory experiments but smaller than industrial production, allowing researchers and partners to identify ...

For decades, engineers have searched for underground tunnels by sending signals from the surface downward — an approach that can miss what lies below. By reversing that approach, researchers at the ...

Butanol molecules trigger changes in a microbial cell membrane model in this illustration of research that used neutron scattering and supercomputing to understand fundamental processes for the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a method that uses additive manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, to fabricate custom canisters ...

Edgar Lara-Curzio is a Distinguished Scientist in the Energy Science & Technology Directorate. He currently directs ORNL's Energy Resources and Infrastructure Programs. He received a B.Sc. degree in ...

Dr. Sulman uses biogeochemical modeling and analysis of large environmental data sets to study how plants, microbes, and soils interact with their environment to control carbon, nutrient, and water ...

Today, University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are directing their joint attention to advancing research in the areas of the greatest national need. These include clean ...
