DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories achieved a record-breaking economic impact of $5.2 billion for 2024, surpassing the previous year’s figure by more than $423 million.

Next-level semiconductor testing available

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new automated testing capability for semiconductor devices, which is newly available to researchers and industry partners in the Grid Research Integration and Deployment Center, or GRID-C.

Argonne team delivers a 100x speedup of genetic data analysis from the Million Veteran Program

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Computer scientists from Argonne National Laboratory enabled a 100x speedup in the analysis of genetic associations that may be causal in disease formation using the world’s most diverse genetic biobank, the VA’s Million Veteran Program (MVP).

Artificial imagination

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Kevin Yager, the Electronic Nanomaterials group leader at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), has articulated an overarching vision for the role of AI in scientific research. It’s called a science exocortex — “exo” meaning outside and “cortex” referencing the information processing layer of the human brain. Rather than simple chatbots and scientific assistants, the conceptualized exocortex will be an extension of a scientist’s brain. Researchers will interact with it through conversation, without the need for any invasive brain-computer interfaces.
