Gerald Tuskan, director of the Center for Bioenergy Innovation, or CBI, and a Corporate Fellow at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been awarded the Marcus Wallenberg Prize, the world’s highest honor in the field of forestry, for his pioneering work in sequencing and analyzing the first tree genome.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, inside plant cells using a technique that results in a visible fluorescent signal.
Five scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory — Ho Nyung Lee, David Graham, Andrew Sutton, Roger Rousseau and Troy Carter — have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Cincinnati achieved a breakthrough in understanding the vulnerability of microbes to the butanol they produce during fermentation of plant biomass. The discovery could pave the way for more efficient production of domestic fuels, chemicals and materials.
Miaofang Chi and Rigoberto “Gobet” Advincula, both researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have been elected as Class of 2025 Fellows of the Materials Research Society, or MRS. Chi also holds a joint appointment at Duke University, and Advincula is jointly appointed at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
During his first visit to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the lab’s World War II beginnings to today’s global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a “Manhattan Project 2.”
Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.
ORNL scientists recently sketched a road map for autonomous research laboratories.
A workshop led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory sketched a road map toward a longtime goal: development of autonomous, or self-driving, next-generation research laboratories.Scientists have dreamed for generations of high-tech laboratories operated via robotics at the push of a button.
Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers have developed a new technique that predicts nuclear properties in record detail.
Quantum information scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully demonstrated a device that combines key quantum photonic capabilities on a single chip for the first time.The study published in Optica Quantum focused on a type of quantum computing that relies on light particles, or photons, to build qubits and to store and transmit information.
Relying on leading-edge germanium detectors developed by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the scientific community pursues elusive nuclear processes to unlock persistent mysteries. Answers to questions they hope to resolve hold the potential to redefine the universe itself.
Nick Gregorich and Syed Islam, ORNL researchers, recently completed Cohort 19 of the Energy I-Corps program, an initiative of DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions, or OTT, that provides teams of researchers and industry mentors with an immersive two-month training to develop commercialization pathways for laboratory-developed technologies.
Employees of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its managing contractor, UT-Battelle, donated $1,104,866 in the 2024 ORNL Gives campaign, an annual employee-led effort to address needs throughout East Tennessee.
By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new automated testing capability for semiconductor devices, which is newly available to researchers and industry partners in the Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center, or GRID-C.Semiconductors are considered the heart of the power electronics that shift current and voltage levels as electricity travels from sources like the electric grid and solar panels to where it’s used, such as homes, businesses and vehicle charging stations.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory joined forces with EPB of Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to demonstrate the first transmission of an entangled quantum signal using multiple wavelength channels and automatic polarization stabilization over a commercial network with no downtime.
Vivek Sujan, a distinguished R&D scientist in the Applied Research for Mobility Systems group at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named a 2024 National Academy of Inventors, or NAI, Fellow.
