A glowing new prospect for self-reporting batteries

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne scientists have hit upon fluorescence as a way to shed light on what's happening with flow batteries as they operate.

National laboratories' magnet designers look to the future of light sources with new prototype

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

After more than 15 years of work, scientists at three DOE national laboratories have succeeded in creating and testing an advanced, more powerful superconducting magnet made of niobium and tin for use in the next generation of light sources.

Precision measurements of intracluster light suggest possible link to dark matter

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

Faint light from rogue stars not bound to galaxies has been something of a mystery to scientists. The dimness of this intracluster light makes it difficult to measure, and no one knows how much there is. Scientists on the Dark Energy Survey, led by Fermilab, have made the most radially extended measurement of this light ever, and they've found that its distribution might point to the distribution of dark matter.

Mira's last journey: Exploring the dark universe

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists used a supercomputer to perform one of the five largest cosmological simulations ever -- the Last Journey. This simulation will provide crucial data for sky maps to aid leading cosmological experiments.

Scientists use diamonds to generate better accelerator beams

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists use diamond emitters to shape an accelerator beam to minimize energy loss, improving efficiency.

Scientists gain an unprecedented view of irradiated nuclear fuel

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers from Purdue University and Argonne National Laboratory have used intense X-rays to inspect irradiated nuclear fuel.

Do simulations represent the real world at the atomic scale?

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A multidisciplinary research team has developed a strategy to validate computer simulations of oxide/water interfaces at the atomic scale using X-ray reflectivity experiments. Such interfaces are key in many energy applications.
