Argonne and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute partner to advance silicon sensor research

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, a Republic of Korea national laboratory, sign memorandum of understanding to advance silicon sensor research for the future Electron-Ion Collider.

Argonne’s nuclear energy research drives innovation in Gen-IV reactor safety and efficiency

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is advancing next-generation nuclear energy through state-of-the-art research in sodium-cooled fast reactors. Argonne’s METL facility and experiments like THETA support safer, more efficient energy solutions to meet global demands.

Nick Sokol: Growing a sustainable future

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

A healthy global food supply requires healthy soil, which requires fertilizer to replace and or enhance the nutrients found in the soil. Many farmers use synthetic fertilizers, which are produced from petroleum and fossil fuels. The lack of fertilizer threatens global food security, in addition to making growing food cost-prohibitive for small scale farmers.

Nick Sokol, a member of the Innovation Crossroads program at Oak Ridge National Lab, founded Algaeo, whose technology enables farmers to efficiently grow organic fertilizers on-site from microalgae, making the entire experience of farming easier and less labor intensive while also producing healthy and good-quality food.

Animation offers a new view of the nucleus

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility

The year 2025 has been proclaimed the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology by the United Nations, recognizing 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. Now, Jefferson Lab, MIT and Sputnik Animation unveil “Visualizing the Nucleus,” a new animation of the particles and forces that dominate the quantum world and an accompanying website exhibit featuring the visualization of the structure of matter throughout history.

Argonne to lead two microelectronics research projects under U.S. Department of Energy initiative

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory has received funding for two projects that will advance microelectronics under a Department of Energy research centers initiative.

Empowering change: Argonne hosts Women Energy Leaders training program

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory recently hosted the Climate Smart Women Energy Leaders (CSWEL) training program, part of the Net Zero World Initiative. The program equips women from around the world with knowledge and tools to advance sustainable energy solutions.

Firefighters learn from INL experts about electric vehicle batteries, safety

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

There’s a reason that electric vehicles (EV) in salvage yards are kept by themselves and spaced far apart. Their lithium-ion batteries can hold a lot of energy, and if one catches fire, it’s sometimes hard for firefighters to extinguish the blaze.

Identifying elements for carbon storage

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Led by interns from multiple DOE programs, a newly expanded dataset allows researchers to use easy-to-obtain measurements to determine the elemental composition of a promising carbon storage mineral.

Snapshots of urban climate science

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Research from the heart of Chicago is helping scientists get a better picture of heat islands and air quality. The data will help homeowners and businesses strategize for energy security and climate resilience.

Illuminating the elements under our feet

DOE/US Department of Energy

Using a unique measurement tool, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have expanded our knowledge of the elements in soil and plants.
