Microgrid in a box opening new possibilities in defense, utilities, disaster relief

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Idaho National Laboratory's Microgrid in a Box includes 320 kilowatt-hours of battery storage, and can tie seamlessly into a modern electrical grid and coordinate the distribution of electricity for a small village, military base, or, in the event of a disaster, a hospital, transportation depot, or other critical infrastructure building.

Mentors matter: Championing the future STEM workforce

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Isidro Garcia flourishes in his STEM career through internships and mentoring.

Addis Fuhr: Working to control impurities in materials

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Oak Ridge National Laboratory Weinberg Fellow Addis Fuhr uses quantum chemistry and machine learning methods to advance new materials.

The most advanced Bay Area earthquake simulations will be publicly available

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Modeling the effects of earthquakes on homes, businesses, and infrastructure is about to get a lot easier, thanks to advanced simulations performed on the world's fastest supercomputers.

Argonne to work with nuclear companies in 3 projects funded by the Department of Energy

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory will be partnering with three companies as part of a voucher program provided by the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.

Time projection chamber installed at sPHENIX

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Experts assembling sPHENIX, a state-of-the-art particle detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, successfully installed a major tracking component on Jan. 19. The Time Projection Chamber, or TPC, is one of the final pieces to move into place before sPHENIX begins tracking particle smash-ups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) this spring.

Rinse and repeat: an easy new way to recycle batteries is here

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

A battery material that dissolves in water will reduce the cost, complexity, and environmental impact of recycling lithium-ion batteries, so we can reuse the valuable and increasingly rare metals within.

Argonne's Sibendu Som named American Society of Mechanical Engineers Fellow

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Sibendu Som, whose work focuses on high-fidelity simulations of power generation and propulsion systems, has been designated a fellow by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Brookhaven Lab's Alistair Rogers named 2022 AAAS Fellow

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Alistair Rogers, a plant physiologist who leads the Terrestrial Ecosystem Science & Technology (TEST) Group in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been named a 2022 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

A fresh look at restoring power to the grid

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories computer scientists have been working on an innovative computer model to help grid operators quickly restore power to the grid after a complete disruption, a process called “black start.”
