20-Sep-2021 One year in, Q-NEXT quantum research center is going strong DOE/Argonne National Laboratory The article summarizes Q-NEXT’s first year of activities, including scientific research, infrastructure building, and workforce development.
17-Sep-2021 Argonne teams up with GEVO to apply lab’s GREET Model to company’s net-zero project DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Business Announcement Argonne recently teamed up with a Colorado-based biofuel company to perform a critical lifecycle analysis of its Next Gen technology to produce renewable jet fuel from corn grain in what could be a game-changer in biofuel industry.
14-Sep-2021 A super material applicable to batteries and other energy conversion devices DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Peer-Reviewed Publication Researchers have discovered a material that is only four atoms thick and allows for the study of the motion of charged particles in only two dimensions. Such studies could lead to pivotal discoveries in solid electrolytes for batteries and other applications. Journal Nature Materials
13-Sep-2021 Just by changing its shape, Argonne scientists show they can alter material properties DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Peer-Reviewed Publication Argonne scientists have observed that when the shape of a thin film of metal oxide known as titania is confined at the mesoscale, its conductivity increases. This finding demonstrates that nanoscale confinement is a way to control quantum effects. Journal ACS Nano
10-Sep-2021 Argonne is helping communities avoid the climate crosshairs DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Scientists at Argonne are addressing the vulnerabilities of infrastructure systems through the lens of climate impacts: They are creating detailed climate maps and adapting them to infrastructure as a way for communities to protect themselves from the effects of climate change.
9-Sep-2021 Through the looking glass: How a state-of-the-art optics system will make the APS Upgrade possible DOE/Argonne National Laboratory The upgraded Advanced Photon Source will need a new optics system, one that is much more precise than the current one. A team of Argonne specialists created the new system, and even had to invent new tools to design and test it.
