Researchers use Argonne X-rays to find the best antibodies

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Antibody therapies are only effective if the antibodies do what we want them to do. This research can help scientists determine if an antibody is likely to stick to something other than the intended target, which should lessen the amount of time wasted with overly sticky antibodies.

Argonne and University of Chicago researchers improve management of electric vehicle charging through machine learning

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists have used of reinforcement learning — a system of mathematical rewards and punishments — to improve the efficiency of charging electric vehicles at a charging station.

Dark SRF experiment at Fermilab demonstrates ultra-sensitivity for dark photon searches

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists working on the Dark SRF experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have demonstrated unprecedented sensitivity in an experimental setup used to search for theorized particles called dark photons.

Harnessing the power of water: Argonne and NREL study shows the potential of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists study the role of pumped storage hydropower in Alaska’s clean energy future.

Argonne hosts Demo Day, showcasing innovators at four national labs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Demo Day provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs to pitch their technologies developed at national labs to investors and venture capitalists.

Unveiling the quantum dance: Experiments reveal nexus of vibrational and electronic dynamics

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have demonstrated experimentally a long-theorized relationship between electron and nuclear motion in molecules, which could lead to the design of materials for solar cells, electronic displays and other applications that can make use of this powerful quantum phenomenon.

Cameron Whitehead wins U.S. Department of Energy’s 2023 CyberForce® Conquer the Hill — Reign Edition Competition

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

The recent 2023 DOE CyberForce® Conquer the Hill — Reign Edition inspired the next generation of professionals.

Chicago State University to serve as ‘scientific supersite’ to study climate change impact

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne and Chicago State University deployed instruments at the Chicago State University Campus to measure Chicago’s changing climate. These sensors are among the first for the Argonne-led Urban Integrated Field Laboratory called Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS).

What does the Standard Model predict for the magnetic moment of the muon?

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

A large number of scientists are working on improving the Standard Model prediction of the value of muon g-2 using new data and new lattice calculations. By measuring and calculating this number to ultra-high precision, scientists can test whether the Standard Model is complete.

Rising “snow” deep in the Earth

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers have gained important insights about mysterious structures 1,800 miles below the Earth’s surface—and how they may be connected to volcanoes.
