📸 ORNL in Focus: This H⁻ ion beam is traveling through the Ion Source Test Stand at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source.

Normally invisible, the beam appears in this long-exposure photograph, offering a rare glimpse of the accelerator technology behind one of the world's leading neutron science facilities.

The Ion Source Test Stand helps researchers develop and refine accelerator technologies that enable discoveries in materials science, energy, manufacturing, and national security.

An ORNL-developed algorithm can help researchers explore increasingly complex problems in fluid dynamics while pushing the boundaries of quantum and high-performance computing.

The new algorithm can cut the operations needed for a fluid dynamics calculation by more than 95%, helping address a key challenge for quantum computers.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) used the world’s fastest supercomputer for open science to develop a quantum algorithm that could lead to more advanced models in fluid dynamics and other scientific fields. The results of the study, supported b...

has a big impact close to home.

Laboratory spending supports businesses and workers, new technologies create opportunities for industry, and ORNL’s capabilities help attract more investment in East Tennessee. In fact, ORNL activity generated $3.6B in Tennessee economic output in 2025, with $3.3B concentrated in the Knoxville metro area.

For every 100 jobs at ORNL, another 130 are supported across Tennessee!

ORNL’s work supports local business, suppliers, and workers, and the lab’s scientific capabilities continue to attract new opportunities to East Tennessee.

In 2025, ORNL helped state and regional partners secure six projects representing $1.6 billion in capital investment and more than 1,000 high-paying Tennessee jobs.

Nuclear innovation takes more than a single breakthrough. It depends on research, specialized facilities, industry, a skilled workforce and collaboration across the nuclear community.

For Nuclear Science Week, hear perspectives on what it takes to deliver next-generation nuclear energy and why East Tennessee has the pieces needed to move that work forward.

Oak Ridge’s nuclear legacy is part of that story, alongside the research and capabilities advancing the field today.
