Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 used, such as homes, businesses and vehicle charging stations.
Researchers at the Department of Energy鈥檚 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鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been named a 2024 National Academy of Inventors, or NAI, Fellow.
A healthy global food supply requires healthy soil, which requires fertilizer to replace and or enhance the nutrients found in the soil. Synthetic fertilizers have been historically cheap, but events in recent years have driven the price up and the supply down. Nick Sokol, a member of the Innovation Crossroads cohort at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is working to make the entire experience of farming easier and less labor intensive while also producing healthy and good-quality food.
Emrullah Aydin, an R&D staff associate in the Vehicle Power Electronics Research group at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elevated to senior member status in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, or IEEE.
Shaun Gleason has been named director of the聽Partnerships Office at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory, effective January 6.The Partnerships Office advances and connects several critical elements within and beyond the laboratory, including entrepreneurship, commercialization and intellectual property management; technology transfer; strategic partnership programs; economic development and regional innovation; institutional industrial partnerships; and research security.
A research partnership between two Department of Energy national laboratories has accelerated inspection of additively manufactured nuclear components, and the effort is now expanding to inspect nuclear fuels.
