## Innovation Crossroads helps Shift Thermal keep things cool

April 15, 2024

Shift Thermal, a member of Innovation Crossroads’ first cohort of fellows, is commercializing advanced ice thermal energy storage for HVAC, shifting the cooling process to be more sustainable, cost-effective and resilient. Shift Thermal wants to enable a lower-cost, more-efficient thermal energy storage method to provide long-duration resilient cooling when the electric grid is down. 

## ORNL collaboration helps secure 2023 Gordon Bell Prizes

April 12, 2024

Science liaisons from the National Center for Computational Sciences worked with the teams that won the 2023 Gordon Bell Prizes. Liaisons provide a unique combination of scientific domain and HPC expertise to ensure projects using the OLCF perform as well as possible.

## Holding the quantum keys, innovation helps keep the power grid safe

April 12, 2024

ORNL scientists have spent the past 20 years studying quantum photonic entanglement. Their partnership with colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory and private industry partner Qubitekk led to development of the nation’s first industry-led commercial quantum network. This type of network could ultimately help secure the nation’s power grid and other infrastructure from cyberattacks.

## Three ORNL IP projects advance toward Lab MATCH Prize

April 12, 2024

Three ORNL intellectual property projects with industry partners have advanced in DOE's Office of Technology Transitions Making Advanced Technology Commercialization Harmonized, or Lab MATCH, prize, which encourages entrepreneurs to find actionable pathways that bring lab-developed intellectual property to market. 

## New data processing automation grows plant science at ORNL

April 12, 2024

OLCF and APPL have collaborated on an automated data pipeline to manage data from APPL's hyperspectral imaging tools. The collaboration is an early effort of DOE's Integrated Research Infrastructure.

## Powered by math, generative AI requires new knowledge for safe use

April 9, 2024

In the age of easy access to generative AI software, user can take steps to stay safe. Suhas Sreehari, an applied mathematician, identifies misconceptions of generative AI that could lead to unintentionally bad outcomes for a user.  

## Researchers publish first-of-its-kind database for uranium minerals 

April 2, 2024

Nuclear nonproliferation scientists at ORNL have published the Compendium of Uranium Raman and Infrared Experimental Spectra, a public database and analysis of structure-spectral relationships for uranium minerals. This first-of-its-kind dataset and corresponding analysis fill a key gap in the existing body of knowledge for mineralogists and actinide scientists. 

## ‘Frankenstein design’ enables 3D printed neutron collimator 

April 1, 2024

Scientists at ORNL have developed 3D-printed collimator techniques that can be used to custom design collimators that better filter out noise during different types of neutron scattering experiments

## Dealing with stress in large-scale additive manufacturing

March 25, 2024

ORNL scientists have determined how to avoid costly and potentially irreparable damage to large metallic parts fabricated through additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, that is caused by residual stress in the material. 

## From rural roots to the global stage: Local robotics team heads to global FIRST Tech Challenge robotics championship

March 22, 2024

Alyson Coates, a Senior Technical Staff Member in ORNL's Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate, noticed a need for more STEM programs for young girls in her rural community in Blount County. So, she decided to fill the gap herself.
