Argonne accelerates COVID antiviral discovery with AI

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have been using AI to search through a vast number of small molecules to find usable drug candidates. Recently, they used a new commercially available hardware to speed the process, reducing searches that might have originally taken years to mere minutes.

The age of exascale and the future of supercomputing

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne leaders discuss the advent of exascale computing and what lies ahead, including the challenges for developers and expectations of researchers. They also provide some insight on AI’s potential to forge new frontiers in automation and real-time analysis.

Argonne employee group funds service dog for Chicago area veteran

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

A U.S. Army veteran living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was presented with an Australian shepherd service dog on Sept. 25, the result of roughly five years of fundraising by an employee group at Argonne National Laboratory.

Argonne researchers generate important breakthrough to help secure electrical grid

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

As the electrical grid is modernized, it requires new safeguards to keep it safe from cyberattackers. Researchers at Argonne have developed a novel security approach to find and stop cyberthreats that penetrate the IT layer, preserving grid stability.

Argonne taps internationally recognized researcher Shirley Meng as chief scientist for energy storage strategy

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

A pioneer in material science, Meng’s new role comes with a joint appointment as a professor at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at The University of Chicago.

Predicting the future of the Earth with artificial intelligence

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Starting October 25, a group of scientists will host a workshop to identify ways to create artificial intelligence-informed models of the Earth’s climate.

Innovative models predict effects of climate change on nor’easters

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers use Argonne-developed high-resolution models to predict the effect of future climate change on the extratropical storms — or nor’easters — that bear down on the Northeast during the winter. Results could provide guidance for mitigation.

CodeGirls experience the rich potential of coding and computing science at Argonne

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

As part of ongoing efforts by Argonne to create pathways for the next generation of STEM leaders, CodeGirls @ Argonne summer camp offers middle school girls the opportunity to see the computing technology and careers available at national laboratories.

Argonne-led research team highlighted in special issue on quantum systems

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

A team led by Argonne and UChicago have published an article in Nature Reviews Materials that lays out a blueprint for solid-state spin defects in materials for use in qubits.
