Autonomous Vehicle Camp sets the stage for Autonomous Vehicle Competition

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Part of the Argonne in Chicago initiative, the Autonomous Vehicle Camp offers an independent preview into the intense coding, design and engineering challenges found in Argonne’s annual Autonomous Vehicle Competition.

Argonne secures Department of Energy funding for three clean energy projects

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne obtains DOE funding for three transformative clean energy projects, revolutionizing geothermal power plants, advancing safety analysis for advanced nuclear reactors and driving the commercialization of used nuclear fuel recycling.

A stitch in virtual time saves nine in real time

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Time is precious to everyone. Digital twin under development at Argonne will allow scientists to conduct virtual experiments that will later maximize use of time in real experiments at large user facilities.

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.

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.

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).

Nazia Zakir helps keep Argonne’s staff and campus safe

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Nazia Zakir talks about her role as Environment, Safety and Health (ESH) senior director at Argonne National Laboratory.

Speeding up the discovery of new catalysts for clean energy with Aurora

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory is building one of the nation’s first exascale systems, Aurora. Aurora's Early Science Program, through the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, tapped 15 research teams to get ready for launch. One team is using computational chemistry to accelerate the discovery of new catalysts.
