ORNL-developed technology streamlines computational science projects

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An ORNL research team led by Jay Jay Billings has continuously updated a workflow management system they first developed in 2010 to help computational scientists develop software, visualize data, and solve problems, saving time and effort expended in support of modeling and simulation experiments. Recently, the team published an article inSoftwareX that both details the history of the system and previews the potential benefits of upcoming versions.

Cannibalistic materials feed on themselves to grow new nanostructures

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory induced a two-dimensional material to cannibalize itself for atomic 'building blocks' from which stable structures formed. The findings, reported in Nature Communications, provide insights that may improve design of 2-D materials for fast-charging energy-storage and electronic devices.

ORNL researchers enable real-time forensic analysis with new cybersecurity tool

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Business Announcement

Researchers at ORNL have developed a new cybersecurity tool called Akatosh that automates the process of analyzing computer networks to detect malware. The tool collects historical information on host systems on the network to immediately show changes that transpired leading up to and during a cyber attack, which saves precious time and resources previously spent manually searching the network for changes.

All Aboard the Neutron Train: Mapping Residual Stresses for More Robust Rails

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers from the Transportation Technology Center Inc. (TTCI) are using neutrons at DOE's ORNL to study how rails used in railway tracks wear away over time. A better understanding will help TTCI develop improved rail simulation models and other applications to enhance rail durability for increased safety and performance.

Sergei Kalinin: Turning seeing into understanding and making

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Profiles is Sergei Kalinin of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, who 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 insights that will inform the design of advanced materials for energy and information technologies.

Two steps ahead: Neutrons help explore future HIV treatments

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Using the BioSANS instrument at DOE's ORNL, a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine explores future HIV treatments. Specifically, the researchers hope to better understand how HIV evolves to combat ALLINIs, a new class of HIV-fighting drug. With the information they've gathered at ORNL, the researchers hope to pave the way for more effective HIV treatments in the future.
