ORNL’s Neutron Sciences User Office is partnering with ORCiD this year to pilot an integrated workflow that displays SNS and HFIR beam time awards on a researcher’s ORCiD record. ORCiD, an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit, provides a free identifier for individuals to use with their name as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. <br>
<br>
The partnership will explore developing a workflow that notifies the Neutron Sciences User Office when a publication appears in a researcher’s ORCiD record that highlights results from ORNL’s neutron sources. When researchers begin the process to submit a proposal to use SNS or HFIR, they will be asked to provide their ORCiD and grant ORNL permission to push neutron beam awards to their profiles.<br>
<br>
For those researchers that provide their ORCiD and grant permission, SNS and HFIR beam time awards will be displayed in their profile under "Funding." Researchers that previously provided their ORCiD will need to grant ORNL permission to push information to their profile.<br>
<br>
This notation will highlight that the researcher successfully competed and received beam time. The notation will be pushed to a researcher’s profile at the end of the run cycle. ORNL will also push previous beam time awards to those researchers' profiles.<br>
<br>

The team will review proposals and consolidate those with similar needs into one continuous block of dates. For example, there may be a 10-day period where a certain magnet will run on a specific beamline.<br>
<br>
This change resolves conflicts during the scheduling process when experiments at two different beamlines require the same piece of sample environment equipment at the same time, allowing the team to more easily accommodate current trends such as wet system environments and ultra-low temperature experiments.<br>
<br>
Once a proposal is accepted, members of the instrument team will contact users as usual to schedule the experiment. However, users will now be asked to select dates for experiments within the block when their requested equipment will be available at their allocated beamline. Proposal submissions will still ask users for dates they are unavailable, and the team will take this information into consideration during the scheduling process. Block scheduling will begin with proposal cycle 2017-B.<br>
<br>
“We look for ways to increase efficiency based on input from the user community and from our own observations,” said Gary Lynn, Sample Environment group manager. “We’re optimizing neutron time and becoming more responsive to user needs.”<br>
<br>
The team is also working toward procurement of a new 14-Tesla magnet for use at SNS and plans to develop additional capabilities for HFIR and SNS instruments later this year.</p>

<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #666666;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">Starting with proposal cycle 2017-B, the Neutron Data Analysis and Visualization Division (NDAV) at SNS and HFIR will offer a more intuitive, user-friendly platform for exploring resources. Assistance options available through NDAV will appear as a checkbox in the Neutron Science’s Integrated Proposal Tracking System (IPTS) and an associated text field will allow users to request the type of simulation support they require.<br>
<br>
According to NDAV Director Thomas Proffen, he and his team noticed that users were not always aware of the data-related resources available to them, or how to request access to them. The new request solution will ensure that users have everything they need before beginning an experiment.<br>
<br>
Currently, two specific workflows are supported; 1) Density Functional Theory calculations for Molecular spectroscopy, and 2) Molecular Dynamics simulations for Quasi-elastic scattering. More workflows will be added over time.<br>
<br>
The prescribed workflows are summarized on the website, <a href="http://ornl.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce206a54d06ec6e406c56333c&id=77d7ccf78b&e=2194883330" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #5091cd;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">http://neutrons.ornl.gov/users/data-mgmt</a>.<br>
<br>
Garrett Granroth, the Scientific Data Analysis group leader, said that users may sometimes require a workflow outside of these two options that NDAV could still support. He often receives user requests for a variety of simulation resources that vary in feasibility and complexity. In those cases, the NDAV team can start a dialoge with the user based on their initial input and determine whether their request can be accommodated at that time.<br>
<br>
NDAV simulations have already proved beneficial as evidenced by a research team’s recent discovery that nanodiamonds can enhance the dynamics of a transfer RNA model system when exposed to water. The project could lead to improvements for RNA drugs capable of treating medical ailments from cancers to genetic disorders.<br>
<br>
In that vein, NDAV staff members Jose Borreguero and Vickie Lynch helped develop Pegasus, a workflow optimization technique that creates precise simulation parameters capable of interpreting and comparing data, which let the researchers better understand tRNA dynamics. <a href="http://ornl.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ce206a54d06ec6e406c56333c&id=2c112f19ab&e=2194883330" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #5091cd;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">+ Read more </a><br>

<br>
NASA has funded ORNL and other national laboratories to develop a process that will restore U.S. production capability of Pu-238 for the first time since the late 1980s when the Savannah River Plant ceased production. ORNL has produced and separated about 100 grams of the material and plans to scale up the process over the next several years to meet demand to power NASA deep space missions. [...] <br>
<br>
The Np-237 pellets loaded in the hollow aluminum tube later enter HFIR where they are irradiated, creating Np-238, which quickly decays and becomes Pu-238.<br>

Cutting-edge research and development like that conducted at ORNL can help solve some of the challenges associated with drug delivery.</p>

Specifically, the research team discovered that the motions of a tRNA (or transfer RNA) model system can be enhanced when coupled with nanodiamonds, or diamond nanoparticles approximately 5 - 10 nanometers in size.</p>

The “You Can Code!” event, held January 21, helped area girls tackle the basics of computer programming, a skill that is becoming a requirement in an increasing technological job market.<br>
<br>
Computer science opens more doors for students than any other discipline in today’s world. Learning even the basics will help students in virtually any career—from architecture to zoology. The chance to design an app or an algorithm is a critical experience that could greatly affect a young person’s future career track. </p>

The lightweight ceramic material could be used as vehicle armor in place of heavy metal solutions that traditionally protect the military’s vehicles. The research team is seeking to understand how pre-applied stress impacts the material’s ballistic performance to validate models and predictive tools.</p>

In fact, Haberl can identify the specific instance, early in her career, when that excitement originated and guided her toward high-pressure science. It was her first time working on a synchrotron, studying the phase transitions and structural changes of silicon under high pressure. Her team had been awake for two days straight with little success, until the early pre-dawn hours when one of their samples started to change.</p>

We could actually see, with our eyes, the phase transition happening before us,” Haberl said. [...]</p>

Her research focuses on compressing and transforming silicon and related elements into new materials and studying the transformed structures with neutron scattering at SNS.</p>

Scientists at ORNL have found a simple, reliable process to capture carbon dioxide directly from ambient air, offering a new option for carbon capture and storage strategies to combat global warming. [...] <br>
<br>
The research team is now studying the material’s crystalline structure and properties with the unique neutron scattering capabilities at SNS. By analyzing carbonate binding in the crystals, they hope to better understand the molecular mechanism of carbon dioxide capture and release and help design the next generation of sorbents. <br>
