At the forefront of current materials research, high-performance
computing, and environmental science and management efforts, the
Laboratory seeks solutions to energy-related problems through
the exploration of physics, chemistry, engineering, applied mathematics
and materials sciences. Established in the 1940s with the successful
development of the most efficient process to produce high-purity
uranium metal for atomic energy, the Lab now pursues a broad range
of scientific priorities.

Ames Laboratory-made materials are out of this world
Materials produced at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory were launched into space on May 14 with the European Space Agency's Planck Mission. Ames Laboratory's Materials Preparation Center synthesized over 20 kilograms of a lanthanum-nickel-tin alloy for use in a metallic hydride sorption cryocooler system -- built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory -- that will cool instruments during the space mission.
