Consequence-driven Cyber-informed engineering: The rise of a national security pillar
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryConsider the utility services that people use every day: light switches, water faucets and gas burners. The simple act of delivering electricity, water or gas to a home or business requires a cascade of invisible digital and physical processes, all functioning in tandem.
Cyber escape rooms: Inside INL’s pioneering training to protect industrial control systems
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryAs manufacturers and utilities recognize their automated systems are vulnerable to hackers, the Idaho National Laboratory’s cyber escape rooms have become a go-to training resource for cybersecurity organizations around the world.
Western states forge alliance with nation’s nuclear lab on advanced energy development
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryThe Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is the hub of collaboration among Western states to advance nuclear energy. This effort, anchored in legislative frameworks, strategic investments, collaborations and partnerships, is positioning the region as a leader in nuclear innovation.
Breaking through the noise: WSComm’s revolution in spectrum sharing
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryIn today’s hyperconnected world, wireless communication faces a critical challenge known as the “spectrum crunch.” Spectrum crunch results from more devices vying for limited frequencies, creating an overcrowded radio frequency spectrum — a bottleneck that disrupts communication. Spectrum crunch threatens not only everyday conveniences like cellphone connectivity but also essential services, such as emergency response times, global positioning systems and military operations.
Idaho researchers collaborate with US company to develop novel nuclear fuel to preserve, improve today’s reactors
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryFather and son entrepreneurs Mehul and Milan Shah have patented a new nuclear fuel design that could reduce nuclear waste, enhance safety and lower costs for today’s pressurized heavy water reactors.
