United Rare Earths has licensed two innovative technologies from Oak Ridge National Laboratory aimed at reducing dependence on critical rare earth elements. These technologies support the creation of high-performance magnets […]
A former intern for the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory was selected to represent Tennessee presenting his research at the National Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, or NJSHS.
U.S. National Science Foundation-funded researchers have stabilized a composite material in a superconducting state at ambient or normal, everyday pressure. Their technique, called the “pressure-quench protocol,” offers a new approach
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — For the second consecutive summer, bright, inquisitive young minds will join Sandia National Laboratories’ Microsystems Engineering, Science and Applications Complex through the Student Intern Group for Microelectronics
From decoding plant genomes to modeling microbial behavior, computational biologist Priya Ranjan builds computational tools that turn extensive biological datasets into real-world insights. These tools transform the way scientists ask
A new chemical process funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation has produced methanol — a type of alcohol essential for manufacturing many common products and a potential fuel source
The U.S. National Science Foundation has announced a $25.5 million investment to support fundamental research and workforce development aimed at enabling future generations of U.S. manufacturing. This year’s awards will
Americans spend a lot of time on their screens. The images on those screens are made of pixels — tiny dots that represent a single point of color. Scientists from
Scientists have developed a new machine learning approach that accurately predicted critical and difficult-to-compute properties of molten salts, materials with diverse nuclear energy applications. In a Chemical Science article, Oak
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, a major new scientific facility jointly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, released its
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The final touches are underway, including the installation of quantum lab equipment, as Central New Mexico Community College prepares to welcome students to its Quantum Technician Bootcamp. Students
