Luis Ocampo Giraldo moved from Armenia, Colombia, to Morristown, New Jersey, when he was in eighth grade. While most teenagers struggle to navigate the many changes that come with adolescence, Ocampo Giraldo was also navigating the intricacies of a new country: learning a new language, adjusting to a new culture [...]
Luis Ocampo Giraldo moved from Armenia, Colombia, to Morristown, New Jersey, when he was in eighth grade. While most teenagers struggle to navigate the many changes that come with adolescence, Ocampo Giraldo was also navigating the intricacies of a new country: learning a new language, adjusting to a new culture and, to keep things interesting, […]
Idaho National Laboratory has opened the application period for its STEM grants. INL will award grants on behalf of Battelle Energy Alliance, which operates the lab for the U.S. Department of Energy. INL cultivates Idaho’s education landscape by leveraging partnerships and resources to grow science, technology, engineering and math opportunities [...]
Idaho National Laboratory has opened the application period for its STEM grants. INL will award grants on behalf of Battelle Energy Alliance, which operates the lab for the U.S. Department of Energy. INL cultivates Idaho’s education landscape by leveraging partnerships and resources to grow science, technology, engineering and math opportunities for all. The lab seeks […]
Anyone who has flown on a commercial flight, crossed an international border, visited a government building or attended a concert knows you’re not getting inside until you pass the security guards. Placing guards outside the gates is a centuries-old defense strategy used to protect people, places and things from those [...]

Placing guards outside the gates is a centuries-old defense strategy used to protect people, places and things from those who seek to do harm. […]
Some people may look at piles of hemp dust and fiber waste lying on the floor after a day of manufacturing thermal insulation and simply see trash. However, Matthew Mead from Hempitecture wondered if he could turn that trash into treasure. “It really presents a great opportunity for us,” Mead [...]
Some people may look at piles of hemp dust and fiber waste lying on the floor after a day of manufacturing thermal insulation and simply see trash. However, Matthew Mead from Hempitecture wondered if he could turn that trash into treasure. “It really presents a great opportunity for us,” Mead said. “Whether it’s another way […]
Utility-scale batteries can revolutionize how we harness renewable power. Coupled with wind and solar, these batteries could increase the reliability of green energy by storing excess energy during times of high generation and low demand. Then, utilities can tap the stored energy when demand increases. Hydropower accounts for 29% of [...]

Deslonde de Boisblanc (1923-2009) was an inventive engineer from New Orleans who played a key role in nuclear reactor design, notably the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory. Despite not having a Ph.D. or prior experience with nuclear reactors, his innovative clover-leaf design allows multiple experiments on various fuels [...]

The potential for remote operation and autonomous control, which could improve operational efficiency and reduce risk, is a major selling point for some advanced nuclear technologies. Take microreactors, for example. These small nuclear reactors are designed to be able to operate independently from the electric grid with limited local operating [...]
The potential for remote operation and autonomous control, which could improve operational efficiency and reduce risk, is a major selling point for some advanced nuclear technologies. Take microreactors, for example. These small nuclear reactors are designed to be able to operate independently from the electric grid with limited local operating assistance — an exciting notion […]
