ORNL’s remote access experiment program enables scientists around the world to use the laboratory’s neutron sources during the pandemic. By sending samples to the lab and providing remote, real-time direction to ORNL instrument scientists, external researchers can take part in various neutron experiments without setting foot on campus.

$A fast-acting antidote to mitigate the effects of organophosphate poisoning requires a reactivator that can effectively and efficiently cross the blood-brain barrier, bind loosely to the enzyme, chemically snatch the poison and then leave quickly. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is using neutron diffraction data towards improving a novel reactivator design. Image credit: Michelle Lehman and Jill Hemman/ORNL$
