26-Nov-2024 An event where future STEM stars are born? DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Throughout its history, the Argonne Hispanic/Latino Employee Resource Group has regularly partnered with local schools in underserved communities, inviting students to visit the lab and inspiring them to build a sustained interest in their STEM studies.
26-Nov-2024 Behind the model: Science inspired by Lego blocks DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Walt Akers, chief systems engineer for experimental nuclear physics at Jefferson Lab was tasked with creating a 3D-printed model of a section of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), a next-generation particle accelerator being built at the DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory in partnership with Jefferson Lab. He took his inspiration from toy building blocks. Funder DOE/US Department of Energy
25-Nov-2024 Data scientist fixes his sights on speeding up drug discovery DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Scientists are using artificial intelligence and powerful computing to sculpt new molecules in an effort to treat disease.

25-Nov-2024 Record-breaking run on frontier sets new bar for simulating the universe in the exascale era DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Record-Breaking Run on Frontier Sets New Bar for Simulating the Universe in the Exascale EraResearchers at Argonne National Laboratory used the Frontier supercomputer to run the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe ever conducted. The calculations set a new benchmark for cosmological hydrodynamics simulations and provide a new foundation for simulating the physics of atomic matter and dark matter simultaneously. The simulation size corresponds to surveys undertaken by large telescope observatories, a feat that until now has not been possible at this scale. Funder Advanced Scientific Computing Research
25-Nov-2024 A career of chasing particle beams DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From studying complex particle beam dynamics in particle accelerators to designing next-generation machines, his almost four decades of work have recently been recognized by his peers by being named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in October 2024.

25-Nov-2024 Nuclear is here ... and here and here DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory East Tennessee has become the nerve center for a resurgent nuclear industry. Discover why the region, home to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is so attractive to this next generation of nuclear businesses.
22-Nov-2024 24s: A businesslike name for a ‘high-performing machine’ DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility The latest addition to the computational arsenal of Jefferson Lab is an extraordinary machine with the admittedly ordinary name of “24s.” The 24s cluster at Jefferson Lab will work to unlock the mysteries of the nucleus of the atom. It was funded by the Nuclear and Particle Physics LQCD Computing Initiative of DOE’s Office of Nuclear Physics. Funder DOE/US Department of Energy
22-Nov-2024 Standing guard against network invaders DOE/Idaho National Laboratory Anyone who has flown on a commercial flight, crossed an international border, visited a government building or attended a concert knows you’re not getting inside until you pass the security guards.
21-Nov-2024 A new era for batteries: Argonne leads $50 million sodium-ion innovation push DOE/Argonne National Laboratory A consortium of 13 national laboratories and universities aims to develop high-energy, long-lasting sodium-ion batteries that are made from inexpensive, abundant materials and reduce U.S. reliance on critical elements used in electric-vehicle batteries.
21-Nov-2024 INL hosts forensics training for Ukraine to deter nuclear threats DOE/Idaho National Laboratory It’s a long way from the Donbas region of Ukraine to Idaho, but Ukrainian officials recently made the trip to learn about collecting evidence after a nuclear attack.
