21-Nov-2024 A new era for batteries: Argonne leads $50 million sodium-ion innovation push DOE/Argonne National Laboratory A consortium of 13 national laboratories and universities aims to develop high-energy, long-lasting sodium-ion batteries that are made from inexpensive, abundant materials and reduce U.S. reliance on critical elements used in electric-vehicle batteries.
21-Nov-2024 INL hosts forensics training for Ukraine to deter nuclear threats DOE/Idaho National Laboratory It’s a long way from the Donbas region of Ukraine to Idaho, but Ukrainian officials recently made the trip to learn about collecting evidence after a nuclear attack.
20-Nov-2024 SLAC celebrates 50 years of Nobel-winning discovery in particle physics DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory In 1974, the independent discovery of the J/psi particle at SLAC and Brookhaven National Laboratory rocked the physics world, and entire textbooks had to be rewritten. Earlier this month, SLAC hosted a symposium to celebrate the milestone.
20-Nov-2024 The Fantastic Four: Open Quantum Initiative undergraduate fellows at Argonne share their research experiences DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Four summer undergrad fellows conducting research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory talk about their work developing quantum technologies and how they’re excited to be a part of a burgeoning field.
19-Nov-2024 University of Illinois Chicago students write the book on automating diamond membrane creation for quantum devices DOE/Argonne National Laboratory During a summer at Argonne, UIC computer science and information science students develop a technique for automating a manually intensive stage in the creation of a qubit-host material.
18-Nov-2024 Frontier supercomputer hits new highs in third year of exascale DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory The HPE Cray EX supercomputing system reported new highs for problem-solving speeds this week, updated for the TOP500 announcement at the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, or SC24, in Atlanta. The score earned Frontier the No. 2 spot on the November 2024 TOP500 list, which ranks the fastest supercomputers in the world. Funder DOE/US Department of Energy
18-Nov-2024 Adjusting accelerators with help from machine learning DOE/US Department of Energy Banks of computer screens stacked two and three high line the walls. The screens are covered with numbers and graphs that are unintelligible to an untrained eye. But they tell a story to the operators staffing the particle accelerator control room. The numbers describe how the accelerator is speeding up tiny particles to smash into targets or other particles.
15-Nov-2024 Much ado about vacuum DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Meet NSLS-II Vacuum Group Leader Robert Todd and learn about the crucial role high-tech vacuum systems play in maintaining ultra-bright X-ray light for cutting-edge scientific research.
13-Nov-2024 Argonne scientist elected as Fellow of the American Physical Society DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne scientist, Maria Chan, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society for her contributions to energy research.
