The US Department of Energy's Frontier supercomputer has been crowned world's fastest at the International Supercomputing Conference 2022 in Hamburg, Germany, and is the first system to enter the exascale era of computing.
-
ORNL has developed a 3D-printed nuclear reactor core prototype, with the ultimate goal of creating an advanced, full-sized, 3D-printed reactor with integrated sensors and controls from fewer components by 2023.
-
Back in 2016, ORNL developed a 20-kW wireless charger for electric vehicles with a reported 90 percent efficiency. That was for passenger vehicles, and now a system for a medium duty, plug-in hybrid delivery truck has been successfully tested.
-
To help power American's deep space probes, The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has automated key steps in the process to make plutonium-238 (PU-238) nuclear fuel for radiothermal generators (RTG).
-
The the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has unveiled a machine capable of handling a staggering 200,000 trillion calculations per second (200 petaflops).
-
Carbon capture technology typically takes the form of sponge-like materials that are used to trap excess CO2 at the places it is released. Now, scientists have created a means of drawing it right out of the ambient air – and the technology involves using a liquid to turn the CO2 gas into crystals.
-
A new trim-and-drill tool, developed and 3D printed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been certified by Guinness World Records as the largest solid 3D printed item.
-
A research team from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a laser process that could make joining carbon fiber composites and aluminum less expensive with more robust joints as a result. The process promises cheaper high-end products for lightweighting in automotive manufacture.
-
A team at Oak Ridge Laboratories believes it has come close to creating a wireless car charging system efficient enough to broaden the appeal of electric vehicles.
-
In an effort to avert an outer space energy crisis, the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has restarted production of plutonium-238 (PU-238) after almost 30 years.
-
Researchers have developed a process to create a virtually perfect monolayer of "white graphene," making a dream team pairing of graphene and white graphene substrate for use in next generation electronic devices a possibility.
-
Phosphors are essential to fluorescent lighting, and thus office parks the world over, but their use of rare-earth elements makes them less than ideal. Now new types of phosphors have been developed that use substantially less rare-earth elements than current phosphors found in fluorescent bulbs.
