Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists set out to address one of the biggest uncertainties about how carbon-rich permafrost will respond to gradual sinking of the land surface as temperatures rise.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) recently elected Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s (LLNL) Annie Kersting to serve as vice chair of the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology for a three-year

President Donald Trump’s proposed budget for fiscal year (FY) 2021 proposes to significantly reduce the size and reach of the federal bureaucracy by focusing federal activities on constitutional priorities and empowering state and local governments to address other issues closer to the people. Such reforms would have put the budget on track to balance, before exceptional measures to respond to COVID-19 (a disease caused by the novel coronavirus that originated in China) led to a steep and sudd...

A new collaborative project aims to locate New York’s largest sources of methane emissions using specialized mobile laboratory equipment that is collecting ad

Five ORNL scientists to receive DOE Early Career Research awards The Oak Ridger The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science has selected five Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists for Early Career Research Program awards. The program, now in its 12th year, provides support to exceptional researchers during their early career years, when many scientists do their most formative work, in scientific fields critical to the Office of Science’s mission. “Maintaining our nation’s brain...

In climates where weather shifts from hot summers to very cold winters, humans consume more energy since the body has to work harder to maintain temperature. In much the same way, weather inf...
