Argonne hosts summer school for nuclear energy scientists

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne hosted the 13th annual Modeling, Experimentation and Validation Summer School July 19-30. National labs and industry helped fill a critical educational gap for the engineers and scientists who will shape the future of nuclear energy.

Getting up to speed on the proton

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A century ago, scientists first detected the proton in the atomic nucleus. Yet, much about its contents remains a mystery. Scientists report a new theory for understanding what’s inside protons moving at the speed of light.
