A new spin on energy-efficient electronics

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers are harnessing the power of Argonne's Advanced Photon Source to test new materials for use in spintronics. This emerging field uses electron spin instead of charge, allowing manufacturers to make smaller and more efficient electronic devices.

Preparing for exascale: Aurora supercomputer to help scientists visualize the spread of cancer

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In advance of Argonne's Aurora exascale supercomputer, Duke University assistant professor Amanda Randles is leading a new study to analyze cancer metastasis using HARVEY, a code that simulates blood vessels within the human body.

Argonne researchers improve climate models, prediction of climate change

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Drizzle in marine clouds is a key parameter for achieving more accurate climate predictions. Argonne developed novel techniques to retrieve drizzle properties and will expand its research to the aerosol impact on clouds and precipitation.

Shining a healing light on the brain

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists report a novel noninvasive treatment for brain disorders based on breakthroughs in both optics and genetics. It involves stimulation of neurons by means of radioluminescent nanoparticles injected into the brain and exposed to X-rays.
