New neutron studies support magnetism's role in superconductors
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Neutron scattering experiments performed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory give strong evidence that, if superconductivity is related to a material's magnetic properties, the same mechanisms are behind both copper-based high-temperature superconductors and the newly discovered iron-based superconductors.

World-class computing at ORNL could be unleashed to save as much as $50 billion per year in fraud, waste and abuse in the nation's health care system. Thousands of cancer and heart patients will benefit from a new ORNL program to make rhenium-188 generators more widely available. Scientists studying internal details of virtually any material they don't want to destroy may soon be able to use a new technique developed by researchers at ORNL.

Story tips from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory -- December 2009
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Titanium dioxide can be converted into a material that absorbs sunlight and greatly increase the efficiency of solar energy cells. Coated particle fuel fabricated at ORNL, in cooperation with INL, General Atomics, and the Babcock & Wilcox Company, has set a world record for advanced high temperature gas-cooled reactor fuel. Electronic devices of the future may benefit from a fundamental discovery that allows researchers to customize the electronic properties of complex materials.
