Jay Tiley, head of the Materials Structures and Processing Section in the Materials Science and Technology Division at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has received the 2026 ...

A significant cost of a traditional steel frame comes from workers cutting channels for electrical conduit, plumbing lines and ductwork for heating, ventilation and air conditioning after the steel ...

Nailing down our estimates of GPP with reliable global-scale observations is a critical step in improving our predictions of future CO2 in the atmosphere, and the consequences for global climate. - ...

Combining two techniques, analytical chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory became the first to detect fluorine and different isotopes of uranium in a single particle at ...

Quantum computers process information using quantum bits, or qubits, based on fragile, short-lived quantum mechanical states. To make qubits robust and tailor them for applications, researchers from ...

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 ...

The Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSMD) is ORNL's premier source of basic and applied research in high-performance computing, applied mathematics, and intelligent systems. Basic and ...

ORNL’s invention may change plastic’s environmental fate by rearranging polymeric building blocks to customize the properties of plastics. Molecular subunits link to produce polymer chains that can ...

Nuclear energy is a leading option to power space exploration, but its success depends on reactors that can operate autonomously. To help make that vision a reality, ORNL has built a non-nuclear test ...
