Geoscientists aim to improve human security through planet-scale POI modeling

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Through an intelligent combination of geotagged social media, global location and natural language data, ORNL’s Junchuan Fan and Gautam Thakur developed MapSpace, a publicly available, scalable land-use modeling framework. By providing data characteristics broader and deeper than satellite imagery alone, MapSpace can generate population analytics invaluable for urban planning and disaster response. The researchers’ findings were published in the International Journal of Digital Earth.

Researchers use Argonne X-rays to find the best antibodies

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Antibody therapies are only effective if the antibodies do what we want them to do. This research can help scientists determine if an antibody is likely to stick to something other than the intended target, which should lessen the amount of time wasted with overly sticky antibodies.

Argonne and University of Chicago researchers improve management of electric vehicle charging through machine learning

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists have used of reinforcement learning — a system of mathematical rewards and punishments — to improve the efficiency of charging electric vehicles at a charging station.

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists study the role of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska’s clean energy future.

Argonne hosts Demo Day, showcasing innovators at four national labs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Demo Day provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their technologies developed at national labs to investors and venture capitalists.

Burning calories for energy in the calorimetry lab

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Research in the Energy Sciences Center explores how heat changes in chemical reactions, paving the way for more efficient fuels and processes.

At ORNL, 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods get international stamp of approval

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The International Standards Organization has put its stamp of approval on 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These testing and calibration methods have received ISO 17025 accreditation. “Accreditation serves DOE missions in environmental stewardship, isotope production and nuclear security,” said Joe Giaquinto, head of ORNL’s Nuclear Analytical Chemistry section.
