Story tips from the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory February 2010
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Mammograms could save more lives with a technology being developed by ORNL and the University of Chicago. Intrusion detection systems preventing cyber attacks could soon be turbocharged with a tool being developed at ORNL. A fan will save ORNL's computing complex $150,000 a year in energy costs. Researchers from ORNL and the University of Tennessee has discovered a novel type of receptors in bacteria that sense changes in oxygen concentration and other redox parameters.

DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
World-class computing at ORNL could be unleashed to save as much as $50 billion per year in fraud, waste and abuse in the nation's health care system. Thousands of cancer and heart patients will benefit from a new ORNL program to make rhenium-188 generators more widely available. Scientists studying internal details of virtually any material they don't want to destroy may soon be able to use a new technique developed by researchers at ORNL.
