ORNL researchers developed a quantum gate that enhances error resilience in quantum communication. By leveraging hyperentanglement, this approach improves quantum information transfer and stability. #QuantumScience
The 2024 ORNL Gives campaign, an annual employee-led effort to address needs throughout East Tennessee, raised a record $1.1M and contributed 1,800+ volunteer hours!
#ArtificialIntelligence is revolutionizing the field of cancer research. With advanced deep learning technology from ORNL, the period between a cancer diagnosis and the processing of pathology reports has been reduced from 22 months to a mere 14 months. In collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), this advancement aims to radically alter the early detection of cancer trends, paving the way for more immediate disease monitoring and preventive care. ORNL researchers have the ambitious target of shortening this timeline further to just two months. Utilizing AI for rapid extraction of data from pathology reports will enhance the ability to swiftly identify trends, examine causes, and enhance patient outcomes. Explore more on how artificial intelligence is helping shape precision oncology's future. #AI #CancerResearch #PrecisionMedicine

ORNL scientists engineered a way to edit polymer chains in discarded plastics, creating new macromolecules with enhanced properties. #MaterialsScience
ORNL Researchers used neutron scattering to reveal how lithium moves in a superionic solid, a key insight for optimizing next-generation battery materials. By studying lithium diffusion at the atomic scale, the team uncovered mechanisms that could lead to safer, longer-lasting, and faster-charging batteries. 🔋
