Supermassive black holes constantly pump dust, gas and heat into their environments, creating accretion disks like this one. Simulations on ORNL's Frontier supercomputer offer the clearest portrait ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer, a team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and New York University simulated a 33-engine configuration, focusing on the interacting exhaust plumes ...

Now, nearly 25 years later, Ferguson is overseeing four projects – each with the potential to move Oak Ridge National ...

ORNL’s first on-site, commercial quantum computer cluster will be used by OLCF staff to explore ways to integrate this emerging technology into classical high-performance computing ecosystems. Here, ...

A healthy global food supply requires healthy soil, which requires fertilizer to replace and or enhance the nutrients found in the soil. Many farmers use synthetic fertilizers, which are produced from ...

A research team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a new method to uncover the atomic origins of unusual material behavior. This approach uses Bayesian deep learning, a form of ...

Polymer Precursor derived carbon. Editors: Naskar AK, Hoffman WP, Volume 1173, American Chemical Society Symposium Series Publication (2014). [DOI: 10.1021/bk-2014-1173]. 2015 – Present Joint Faculty ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, a team of researchers from U.S. universities and national laboratories has set stringent limits on the existence and mass of sterile neutrinos.

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have invented a more efficient way to extract lithium from waste liquids leached from mining sites, oil fields and used batteries.

ORNL and Enginuity researchers proved that a micro combined heat and power prototype, or mCHP, with an opposed piston engine can achieve more than 93% overall energy efficiency. The environmentally ...

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 ...

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 ...
