ORNL Director Mason talks about the future of the High Flux Isotope Reactor
Last week, I talked to Oak Ridge National Laboratory Director Thom Mason and asked him about the status of the High Flux Isotope Reactor, which was shut down last month -- unplanned -- because of an electrical problem.

Searching for a solid that flows like a liquid
"The goal of our experiments is to find this new quantum state of supersolidity. This is a challenge for theory as well as experiment," says principal investigator Hans Lauter of ORNL. "The superfluid transition we have observed in solid helium may lead to supersolid helium as a new quantum state."

Texas congressman Ralph Hall visits ORNL
U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, chairman of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and the oldest member in Congress, was in town Tuesday for his first tour of Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
