INTERNS 🤝 INTERNS Meet Bradan Sharp and Akari Kojima, summer interns at ORNL. Bradan is learning the ropes of construction management, while Akari is researching isotopes. The two recently sat down for a conversation about their internship experiences. #NationalInternDay

A group of scientists at Oak Ridge Lab used #neutronscattering techniques to investigate a relatively new material called a Weyl semimetal. Read full story here: bit.ly/4dq4Dgj

ICYMI: In #quantum materials, electron spins can behave collectively and exotically. If one spin moves, all react – an entangled state Einstein called “spooky action at a distance.” Scientists used #neutrons Oak Ridge Lab to make a new discovery about them. bit.ly/3zlWg2J

Nuclear Power: Why Frontier? The ExaSMR team at Oak Ridge Lab has optimized codes for #exascale #supercomputers, aiming to provide design engineers with the highest resolution simulations of nuclear systems to date. 👉 bit.ly/3AApvTm

Yesterday, top DOE officials including @EEREgov's Caroyln Snyder kicked off a two-day visit to Oak Ridge Lab. They toured facilities dedicated to #manufacturing, #grid and #buildingscience research aimed at developing technologies that advance energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

Happy anniversary, HFIR! Today, August 25, 1965, at precisely 2:22 pm Oak Ridge Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor achieved criticality. Since then, the reactor has run for more than 500 cycles. Watch this one-minute video to learn more! #sciencehistory bit.ly/3MaAp5a

🚢✨ Big win for #innovation in #marineengineering! 🎉 Oak Ridge Lab's Zhili Feng & Jian Chen will receive the Elmer L. Hann Award for their welding software at SNAME 2024. Their tool optimizes welding, cutting costs & improving accuracy. 🛠️👏 shorturl.at/yHFR9

Researchers Oak Ridge Lab, Argonne National Lab & University of South Carolina documented unique #chemistry dynamics and structure of high-temperature liquid uranium trichloride salt, a potential #nuclear fuel source for next-generation reactors. #HPC Neutron Sciences ORNL Computing & Computational Sciences ornl.gov/news/assorted-…

Nuclear physicists at Oak Ridge Lab used the Frontier #supercomputer to calculate the magnetic properties of calcium-48’s atomic nucleus. ⚛️ ➡️ bit.ly/3TeNoGT

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are everywhere, from cosmetics to medicine. But their persistence in the environment can harm ecosystems. New research from Oak Ridge Lab uses mass spectral imaging to detect these pollutants with unprecedented precision. #CleanWater bit.ly/3YwKlxf

Researchers Oak Ridge Lab have developed a tool that harnesses AI to accelerate the discovery and optimization of materials. Combining #automation and #machinelearning, it can conduct experiments 10x faster without human intervention. shorturl.at/fibwC
