Automated chemistry sets new pace for materials discovery

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee developed an automated workflow to speed the search for new materials to advance solar energy technologies.

Researchers realize quantum communications milestone using light

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A team of researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, along with colleagues at Purdue University, has taken an important step toward a quantum communications milestone by harnessing the frequency, or color, of light.

After 20 years, physicists find a way to keep track of lost accelerator particles

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Physicists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a measurement technique to better understand beam loss--stray particles that travel outside the confinement fields of a particle accelerator. Mitigating beam loss is paramount to realizing more powerful accelerators at smaller scales and lower costs.

Scientists use supercomputers to study reliable fusion reactor design, operation

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A team at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory used two DOE supercomputers, together with a machine learning program called Eureqa, to find a new extrapolation formula from existing fusion device data to the future the ITER device. The team then completed new simulations that confirm their previous ones, which showed that in full-power ITER, the component that removes exhaust heat may be more likely to maintain its integrity than was predicted by the current trend.
