Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $19.5 million in funding over three years for 14 projects on low-dose radiation – studying the cellular and molecular responses to doses of radiation that are at or near lower exposure limits. The Low Dose Radiation Research Program supports research to develop a…
Newswise — When the electromagnetic environment around matter changes, the radiation characteristics and energy level structure of matter will be modulated. Placing an emitter in an optical cavity, if the rate of energy exchange between the emitter and the cavity is greater than the system loss rate, then the emitter and the cavity is in…
Newswise — Heat engines, converting heat into useful work, are vital in modern society. With advances in nanotechnology, exploring quantum heat engines (QHEs) is crucial for designing efficient systems and understanding quantum thermodynamics. QHEs, operating as open quantum systems, exchange energy with external thermal baths, leading to quantum jumps. Therefore, the dynamics of QHEs can…
BYLINE: Jamie Oberdick Newswise — UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A discovery that uncovered the surprising way atoms arrange themselves and find their preferred neighbors in multi-principal element alloys (MPEA) could enable engineers to “tune” these unique and useful materials for enhanced performance in specific applications ranging from advanced power plants to aerospace technologies, according to…
Newswise — In the digital age, data storage and processing speed have become key bottlenecks in technological development. Especially with the promotion of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology, higher requirements have been put forward for the perception, storage, and processing of massive data. Traditional memory devices have drawbacks such as slow data transmission…
Newswise — ORNL’s Joshua New was celebrating his birthday and preparing to ice climb Alaska’s Godwin Glacier when he received his highest career honor to date. The computer scientist and distinguished R&D staff member at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory was named the 2024 Researcher of the Year by R&D World magazine as…
Newswise — A sensor on the electric grid picks up a strange blip in current or voltage. What’s happening, and will it cause an outage? Usually, a utility worker must travel in person to check. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new automated drone inspection system that can…
Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ensuring that scientific funding goes to states and territories that have typically received smaller fractions of federal research dollars in the past, the Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $36 million in funding for 39 research projects in 19 states via the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The grants…
