Taking It To The Streets: ORNL Models Climate Solutions For US Cities
Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers are deploying their broad expertise in climate data and modeling to create science-based mitigation strategies for cities stressed by climate change as part of two U.S. Department of Energy Urban Integrated Field Laboratory projects. The Urban IFLs are designed to bring together scientists from multiple … [continued]
Volkswagen Working On High Power Wireless Charging With ORNL & UT
VW and ORNL are developing wireless EV charging systems with up to 300 kW of power.
ORNL Thin Film Electrolyte A Step Forward For Lithium Metal Batteries
Researchers at ORNL report they have created a thin film 3D electrolyte for solid state lithium metal batteries.
New Report From ORNL Details US Hydropower Fleet
Until now, the US hydropower fleet has never been fully documented, but a new report conducted by the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has filled this gap, providing industry and policy makers with a full run-down on the country’s hydropower capabilities. The first ever Hydropower Market Report … [continued]
ORNL’s Microgrid Project Coming Along — Standardized, Self-Sustaining Electric Microgrids Soon?
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s microgrid project, the “Complete System-Level Efficient and Interoperable Solution for Microgrid Integrated Controls (CSEISMIC)” — which aims to (as the name implies) standardize the toolkit for managing and controlling an effective, reliable, and safe microgrid — is now two years in, and the fruits of the … [continued]
NAWI Awarded Funding To Continue To Accelerate Research & Development For A Secure Water Future
A research consortium led by Berkeley Lab, along with three other national labs, will continue to lead a DOE desalination hub to drive innovation for sustainable water security The National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI), which is led by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has … [continued]
U.S. DOE Expands Support for Community-Led Clean Energy Transitions
DOE’s Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) program helps local governments, electric utilities, community-based groups, and other decisionmakers realize their clean energy goals with innovative modeling and testing tools developed at DOE’s world-class national laboratories. Today, DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) released the first C2C annual report, which highlights more than 200 communities … [continued]
Sensing Diseases From Space
Disease itself may be invisible to the human eye, but conditions ripe for disease outbreaks can be seen from satellites. ORNL’s Assaf Anyamba has spent his career using satellite images to determine where extreme weather may lead to vector-borne disease outbreaks. His work has helped the U.S. government better prepare … [continued]
Cancer Research in 3D
In cancer research, seeing is believing. Before they can diagnose or treat cancer, researchers and doctors need to have a clear understanding of what’s happening at a microscopic level. While existing technology allows us to see things the naked eye can’t, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s … [continued]
