Researchers use Argonne X-rays to find the best antibodies

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Antibody therapies are only effective if the antibodies do what we want them to do. This research can help scientists determine if an antibody is likely to stick to something other than the intended target, which should lessen the amount of time wasted with overly sticky antibodies.

Argonne and University of Chicago researchers improve management of electric vehicle charging through machine learning

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists have used of reinforcement learning — a system of mathematical rewards and punishments — to improve the efficiency of charging electric vehicles at a charging station.

‘Secret sauce’ enables new way to fabricate compositionally graded alloys

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Research into a new, unique technology to fabricate composite metal parts for a wide range of applications operating in extreme environments across the aviation, space and energy industries is showing promise for additive manufacturing.

Harnessing the power of water: Argonne and NREL study shows the potential of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists study the role of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska’s clean energy future.

Argonne hosts Demo Day, showcasing innovators at four national labs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Demo Day provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their technologies developed at national labs to investors and venture capitalists.

Burning calories for energy in the calorimetry lab

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Research in the Energy Sciences Center explores how heat changes in chemical reactions, paving the way for more efficient fuels and processes.

At ORNL, 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods get international stamp of approval

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The International Standards Organization has put its stamp of approval on 18 nuclear analytical chemistry methods at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These testing and calibration methods have received ISO 17025 accreditation. “Accreditation serves DOE missions in environmental stewardship, isotope production and nuclear security,” said Joe Giaquinto, head of ORNL’s Nuclear Analytical Chemistry section.

Intern develops technology to find EV charging vulnerabilities

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Idaho National Laboratory intern Jake Guidry has developed a cybersecurity research tool that could improve the security of electric vehicle charging.

Chicago State University to serve as ‘scientific supersite’ to study climate change impact

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne and Chicago State University deployed instruments at the Chicago State University Campus to measure Chicago’s changing climate. These sensors are among the first for the Argonne-led Urban Integrated Field Laboratory called Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS).
