Oak Ridge National Laboratory   DOE Pulse - Research Highlights

DOE Pulse highlights work being done at the Department of Energy's national laboratories. DOE's laboratories house world-class facilities where more than 30,000 scientists and engineers perform cutting-edge research spanning DOE's science, energy, National security and environmental quality missions.

Automated, nondestructive inspection system characterizes atomic-level properties

Researchers at DOE's Idaho National Laboratory have developed the Portable Positron Measurement System (PPMS), which non-destructively tests materials at the atomic level throughout the production process.

NETL Adopts Medical Technique to Study Mobility of CO2 in Coal

DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is using computed tomography (CT), usually a medical technique, to assess the potential long-term storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep, unmineable coal seams.

Scientists capture 3D images of ‘frozen smoke’

Researchers have created a three-dimensional image of a material referred to as “frozen smoke.” Aerogel, known as frozen smoke, is an open-cell polymer with pores smaller than 50 nanometers in diameter.

Wireless networks improve by “hops” and bounds

With the potential to improve gas and oil pipeline monitoring, disaster recovery, and border surveillance, wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks hold the promise of extending our senses into the world, far beyond what is now possible.
