Paul Abraham: From exploring proteins to informing biosystems design
Systems biologist Paul Abraham uses his fascination with proteins, the molecular machines of nature, to explore new ways to engineer more productive ecosystems and hardier bioenergy crops.
Carbon-loving materials designed to reduce industrial emissions
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, are advancing gas membrane materials to expand practical technology options for reducing industrial carbon emissions.
Yanwen Zhang: Finding the big picture for radiation-resistant materials
In the search to create materials that can withstand extreme radiation, Yanwen Zhang, a researcher at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, says that materials scientists must think outside the box.
Liam Collins: Mapping the unseen
Liam Collins was drawn to study physics to understand "hidden things" and honed his expertise in microscopy so that he could bring them to light.
Seeing a salt solution's structure supports one hypothesis about how minerals form
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory used neutrons, isotopes and simulations to "see" the atomic structure of a saturated solution and found evidence supporting one of two competing hypotheses about how ions come
Sergei Kalinin: Turning seeing into understanding and making
Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory knows that seeing something is not the same as understanding it. As director of ORNL's Institute for Functional Imaging of Materials, he convenes experts in microscopy and computing to gain scientific insigh...
