Borrowing semiconductor industry know-how to make better batteries
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryFor the first time ever, Argonne researchers demonstrate a semiconductor coating technique for use on the powder form of sulfur-containing, solid battery electrolytes.
How microelectronics will take computing to new heights
DOE/Argonne National LaboratorySecretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm celebrates revolutionary X-ray laser upgrade at SLAC
DOE/SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryAt the root of bulked-up plants
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryOak Ridge National Laboratory scientists identified a gene “hotspot” in the poplar tree that triggers dramatically increased root growth. The discovery supports development of better bioenergy crops and other plants that can thrive in difficult conditions while storing more carbon belowground.
Entrepreneurship program at Argonne opens applications for startups
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryChain Reaction Innovations, the entrepreneurship program at Argonne National Laboratory, seeks innovators to embed at Argonne and develop their clean energy or climate technologies.
If you build a test facility, developers will come
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryNational Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) is now designing and constructing two fields, in the form of nuclear testing facilities known as test beds at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
Modeling a net-zero future: Energy experts harness simulation for global decarbonization
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryThe Department of Energy’s Net Zero World Initiative promotes knowledge exchange and fosters global decarbonization community.
Non-powered dams offer opportunity for clean energy
DOE/Idaho National LaboratoryNinety-seven percent of U.S. dams don’t make electricity. A new tool could help tap that resource.
Firsthand fieldwork: Getting mangroves into coastal models for better climate prediction
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryTo better understand important dynamics at play in flood-prone coastal areas, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists working on simulations of Earth’s carbon and nutrient cycles paid a visit to experimentalists gathering data in a Texas wetland. There, the return of a key mangrove species holds important clues to current and future climate impacts in coastal ecosystems.
