Argonne invites local Hispanic and Latino students to imagine future careers in science

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne hosted an Education Outreach Day to reach middle school students from predominantly Hispanic and Latino neighborhoods and taught them about science-related careers. The goal was to strengthen and diversify the nation’s laboratories and research institutions with greater representation.

Argonne hosts summer school for nuclear energy scientists

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne hosted the 13th annual Modeling, Experimentation and Validation Summer School July 19-30. National labs and industry helped fill a critical educational gap for the engineers and scientists who will shape the future of nuclear energy.

Osteoporosis drug may be a promising treatment for therapy-resistant breast cancer

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers from Argonne and the University of Chicago have found that lasofoxifene, a drug used to treat osteoporosis, may be a safer and more effective treatment for breast cancer than the current gold standard. Clinical trials have begun.

Space odyssey: Argonne scientists among the first to study asteroid fragments

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne scientists at the Advanced Photon Source are among the first to study tiny fragments of near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu, collected by a Japanese space mission. These fragments could tell us long-hidden secrets about how our planet and solar system were formed.

Preparing for exascale: Argonne’s Aurora supercomputer to drive brain map construction

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne researchers are mapping the complex tangle of the brain’s connections — a connectome — by developing applications that will find their stride in the advent of exascale computing.

One year in, Q-NEXT quantum research center is going strong

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The article summarizes Q-NEXT’s first year of activities, including scientific research, infrastructure building, and workforce development.

Argonne is helping communities avoid the climate crosshairs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists at Argonne are addressing the vulnerabilities of infrastructure systems through the lens of climate impacts: They are creating detailed climate maps and adapting them to infrastructure as a way for communities to protect themselves from the effects of climate change.

Through the looking glass: How a state-of-the-art optics system will make the APS Upgrade possible

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The upgraded Advanced Photon Source will need a new optics system, one that is much more precise than the current one. A team of Argonne specialists created the new system, and even had to invent new tools to design and test it.

Biofuels offer a cost-effective way to lower shipping emissions

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Substituting biofuel could reduce the amount of greenhouse gases and other pollutants entering the air from ocean shipping, according to a study from researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Transportation.
