Current air leak detection options, such as using a blower door and smoke or infrared thermography, are costly and invasive. ORNL's method is conduc...

 E-Mail IMAGE: The built environment, from roads to sidewalks to parking lots, affects the water cycle and climate. Scientists at ORNL have explored the use of statistical relationships for evaluating representations of... view more  Credit: Andy Sproles/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of Energy Modeling - Urban climate impacts Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified a statistical relationship between the growth of cities and the spread of paved surfaces like roads and sidewalks. These impervious surfaces impede the flow of water into the ground, affecting the water cycle and,...

This method could open the door to making quantum building blocks that can interact to produce exotic electronic, magne...
