ORNL translates corrosion science expertise with new capabilities
The newest addition to Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s materials research facilities is set to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony later this year now that construction is complete and laboratories are being phased into operation. The 100,000-square-foot, multipurpose Translational Research Capability building at ORNL houses a broad spectrum of research ranging from quantum science to energy storage, with several of the largest labs in the building focused on materials challenges for applications including nuclear fission and fusion, like the ORNL’s Corrosion Lab.
