Anne Campbell of ORNL’s Materials Science and Technology Division is a member of the first fully female team to lead a meeting of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, or TMS, and the American Nuclear Society, or ANS.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers collaborated with Iowa State University and RJ Lee Group to demonstrate a safe and effective antiviral coating for N95 masks.
A study by researchers at the ORNL takes a fresh look at what could become the first step toward a new generation of solar batteries.
When The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) asked Valentino Cooper, a section head in ORNL’s Materials Science and Technology Division, to coauthor a profile of Bettye Washington Greene, a “hidden figure” in chemistry, he did not disappoint.
Drilling with the beam of an electron microscope, scientists at ORNL precisely machined tiny electrically conductive cubes that can interact with light and organized them in patterned structures that confine and relay light’s electromagnetic signal
More than 50 current employees and recent retirees from ORNL received Department of Energy Secretary’s Honor Awards from Secretary Jennifer Granholm in January as part of project teams spanning the national laboratory system.
Researchers at ORNL used polymer chemistry to transform a common household plastic into a reusable adhesive with a rare combination of strength and ductility, making it one of the toughest materials ever reported.
A discovery by Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers may aid the design of materials that better manage heat.
