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 Laboratory’s mission forward and showcase the lab’s capacity for innovating ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A study led by ORNL answers a decades-old question in nuclear science: Do tiny pores in graphite affect nuclear reactor performance? The answer is clear: Graphite’s natural porosity does not affect ...

Dr. Moe Khaleel, the Associate Laboratory Director for National Security Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), guides the research and development of science-based solutions to counter ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have successfully demonstrated the first 270-kW wireless power transfer to a light-duty electric vehicle. The demonstration used ...
