OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Dec. 4 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
The project combined Kumar's expertise in composites with ORNL's unique capabilities in carbon fiber. A composite is a material that combines polymers with strong fibers, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber, to create a rigid, lightweight material. The blade tip, made at ORNL in DOE's Carbon Fiber Technology Facility, incorporated two layers each of standar . . .
