EMSL's Graphics and Visualization Laboratory develops animations to describe a variety of scientific concepts, research approaches, and research facilities.
Removing Spent Nuclear Fuel Rods from Canisters in K Basins (video/audio wmv, 16.4MB)
Describes how spent nuclear fuel rods could be removed from their canisters in the Hanford Site's K Basins.
Stair Racer Movie (video only wmv, 1.5MB)
Shows a small blue and red robot navigate tight spaces, move up stairs, make tight turns, and retrieve a hard-to-access object.
ARM Mobile Facility Movie (video/audio wmv, 22.1MB)
Provides an overview of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program's Mobile Facility, which is designed for conducting atmospheric experiments and has been used around the world.
Goes Over All Terrain (GOAT) Movie (video only wmv, 5MB)
Shows how the GOAT (Goes Over All Terrain) system is deployed aboard aircraft and then surmounts a variety of obstacles, including hills and rock-strewn streams.
Nanobiotechnology: Putting Molecular Machines to Work Movie (video/audio wmv, 179MB)
Discusses the science of nano-based biotechnology and provides insights into applications in the conversion of biomass to fuels.
Surface-Induced Mineralization Technique for Calcium-Phosphate Coatings Incorporating Therapeutic Agents Movie (video/audio wmv, 23MB)
Explains the science and application of the surface-induced mineralization method, which provides a coating that both fights infection and mimics human bones for pins and other structures used in joint repair and artificial limbs.
Reliable Relativistic Quantum Chemistry Calculations for Molecules with Heavy Elements (video/audio mpg, 35MB)
Discusses the use of the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory's high-performance supercomputer to calculate molecular properties and chemical reactions of radioactive elements.
