Oak Ridge Levels Up Science and Neighborhood

Oak Ridge National Lab is on a major upgrade—expanding budget, staff, and facilities while launching bold science initiatives. They’re building a whole new neighborhood on Wilson Street with a hotel, dorms, and food hall, and accelerating research with a new Spallation Neutron Source and domestic isotope production. Under the DOE Genesis Mission, they’re fusing AI, quantum computing, and supercomputers to tackle fusion energy and national security challenges. Their Frontier supercomputer outpaces the age of the universe—but energy use is a hurdle, so teams are racing to make AI data centers smarter and greener. Meanwhile, AI and 3D printing are revolutionizing manufacturing for nuclear reactors and rockets, all while fueling local economies with cutting-edge innovation right here at home.
