06/23/11 Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and North Carolina State University used ORNL's 2.33 petaflop Jaguar supercomputer to study how copper induces misfolding in the protein alpha-synuclein, which is associated with Parkinson's disease.
06/08/11 Assistant state attorney Jeff Ashton, left, holding a can of evidence, talks with Dr. Arpad Vass of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during the Casey Anthony trial at the Orange County Courthouse on Tuesday, June 7, 2011, in Orlando, Fla. Vass had testified the day before about an air sample sent to him in an evidence can.

05/11/11 A team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jun Xu has developed a 3D nanocone-based solar cell platform that claims to improve charge transport thereby boosting the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent.
05/11/11 With the creation of a 3D nanocone-based solar cell platform, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's (ORNL) Jun Xu has boosted the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent.
04/29/11 With the creation of a 3-D nanocone-based solar cell platform, a team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jun Xu has boosted the light-to-power conversion efficiency of photovoltaics by nearly 80 percent. The technology substantially overcomes the problem of poor transport of charges generated by solar photons. These charges -- negative electrons and positive holes -- typically become trapped ...
04/25/11 Novel properties of ferroelectric materials discovered at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are moving scientists one step closer to realizing a new paradigm of electronic memory storage. A new study led by ORNL's Peter Maksymovych and published in the American Chemical Society's Nano Letters revealed that contrary to previous assumptions, domain walls in ferroelectric ...
04/12/11 A newly sequenced bacterial genome from a team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory could contain clues as to how microorganisms produce a highly toxic form of mercury.
04/11/11 A newly sequenced bacterial genome from a team led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) could contain clues as to how microorganisms produce a highly toxic form of mercury. Methylmercury, a potent human neurotoxin, appears in the environment when certain naturally occurring bacteria transform inorganic mercury into its more toxic cousin. Few bacterial species are ...

03/29/11 Perhaps lost in the recent debates related to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan is that natural disasters and not nuclear energy should be the focus, says Oak Ridge National Laboratory's John Sorensen, an emergency preparedness expert.
03/24/11 Vinnie Politan of "In Session" called it "the biggest moment of the day" at the Casey Anthony hearing today. Dr. Arpad Vass of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee discussed his reaction to opening a can containing a carpet sample from Casey Anthony's car. "First I jumped back about two feet," Vass said.
03/11/11 OAK RIDGE - Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced Friday that 161 employees - including Communications Director Billy Stair and Chief Financial Officer Greg Turner, both members of the UT-Battelle leadership team - were approved for voluntary departures under an incentive-laden program designed to trim the lab's payroll and drive down the cost of doing business.
03/10/11 PPG Industries and Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee are joining CSU's solar and research development center to reduce Cadmium Telluride module costs by 17 percent or less than $1 per watt. The group has been awarded $3.1 million by the Department of Energy.
03/07/11 OAK RIDGE, Tenn. -- The next supercomputer coming to Oak Ridge National Laboratory will reportedly be capable of performing 20,000 trillion mathematical calculations per second -- a capability that could vault it onto the top as the world's fastest machine. The extraordinary machine will be called "Titan," and it will reportedly be capable of performing 20,000 trillion mathematical calculations ...
