Safety Week is upon us at Oak Ridge National Laboratory as we share with our summer interns the importance of operational excellence in everything we do. The commitment from our staff to keep the lights on, our campus secure, and colleagues and visitors safe and healthy takes tremendous effort — and they do it well!
Researchers at ORNL and the University of Maine have designed and #3Dprinted a single-piece, recyclable natural-material floor panel tested to be strong enough to replace construction materials like steel.
Dubbed "Kevin Bacon of Composites," Uday Vaidya is a critical part of the Oak Ridge Corridor and has a knack for connecting and inspiring talent. His mentorship has helped to de-risk #startups and foster #innovation, benefiting Innovation Crossroads participants ThermaMatrix, Inc., Vitriform3D, and Endeavor Composites, Inc.

Levitating matter, you ask? Yep, we've got it. Check out this fascinating experiment conducted by researchers from Iowa State University - College of Engineering. They successfully installed and tested a prototype electrostatic levitator to study liquid solutions. Oak Ridge National Laboratory instrument scientist Matthias Frontzek shares some valuable insights and lessons learned. Here's the full story 👉 https://bit.ly/47Akh60 #science #research #innovation “This experiment allowed us to test the limits of #neutronscattering just by using a small droplet and an even smaller amount of salt. We were also able to learn several lessons, such as how to improve signal over background interference and how to optimize data acquisition,” said Frontzek.

I look forward to watching Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Mickey Wade at 3 p.m. at The White House. The event will recognize two years since the debut of the Bold Decadal Vision for Commercial Fusion Energy. Momentum around #fusion energy continues to build, and ORNL is excited to play such a large role in the progress happening across the nation and globe.
👋 Hello, summer #interns! Over the past week, ORNL has welcomed more than 800 students to campus for unique #research experiences. #STEM #internships
