Volker Rose: Then and now / 2012 Early Career Award winner

DOE/US Department of Energy

At Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source and its Center for Nanoscale Materials, physicist Volker Rose’s team built a one-of-a-kind microscope. They developed techniques to combine the chemical sensitivity of synchrotron X-rays with the high spatial resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy.

Experts discuss quantum science at screening of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Following the screening of the movie, leading experts in quantum science discussed the quantum realm in Marvel’s universe and in ours. Guests were also treated to a hands-on demo of the Quantum Casino, a fun, game-based introduction to quantum physics.

Internships help students create prototypes for career success

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne’s Rapid Prototyping Laboratory is a testing ground for new ideas and new careers in autonomous discovery. Undergraduate and graduate student interns are learning how to automate lab work using robotics and artificial intelligence.

Brookhaven HSRP and Spark Program alumni selected in 2023 Regeneron Science Talent Search

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Jack Shultz and Marc Nichitiu, two of this year’s Regeneron Science Talent Search scholars, were able to gain valuable research experience in two of the intensive educational programs offered at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory.

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Lance Dixon, professor of particle physics and astrophysics at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University, will receive the 2023 Galileo Galilei Medal for his contributions to theoretical physics. The award was announced by the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) on Feb. 15 – the 459th birthday of Galileo.

Artificial intelligence reframes nuclear material studies

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Nuclear energy provides a fifth of total U.S. electrical power and half of its clean electricity. With new results from one scientist’s study of computer vision at Argonne National Laboratory’s IVEM facility, it may do even more.

High and dry: Idaho National Laboratory-developed software helps farmers manage water usage

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) scientists explore key issues such as water supply and extreme weather events, like drought, through the laboratory’s energy and environmental research efforts.
