The entanglement advantage

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have demonstrated a way to entangle atoms to create a network of atomic clocks and accelerometers. The method has resulted in greater precision in measuring time and acceleration.

Scientists construct novel quantum testbed one atom at a time

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory created a novel testbed to explore the behavior of electrons in a special class of materials called topological insulators, which could see applications in quantum computing.

Behind the science, “unsung heroes” make Argonne’s experiments possible

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne’s Experimental Operations and Facilities (EOF) division works to enable a broad range of experiments at the laboratory.

Argonne releases small modular reactor waste analysis report

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Reports and Proceedings

Small modular nuclear reactors, which offer greater flexibility and lower upfront cost than large nuclear reactors, have both some advantages and disadvantages when it comes to nuclear waste generation.

Argonne and Economic Development Administration partner to launch national economic research center

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

A new joint partnership between DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory and the Economic Development Administration creates a bridge that connects the economic development community with the complex research and data that informs good decisions.
