9-Jul-2024 Laura Boon’s accelerator experience moves beyond the Advanced Photon Source DOE/Argonne National Laboratory The Advanced Photon Source (APS) recently went through a year’s long shut down and upgrade. Technical facilities and systems specialist Laura Boon is applying the skills from her experience working on the APS Upgrade Project to other accelerators across Argonne’s campus.
9-Jul-2024 Argonne develops new kind of AI model for weather prediction DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne environmental and computer scientists have developed a new kind of model, called a foundation model, to predict weather and eventually climate.
9-Jul-2024 Ames National Laboratory to test new electrical transmission line that could improve grid resiliency DOE/Ames National Laboratory Material scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory are moving into the field-testing stage of a new type of high voltage overhead power conductor (cable).
2-Jul-2024 By mimicking cicada wings, scientists are investigating new ways to keep patients safe DOE/US Department of Energy Cicada’s cries ring out in the hot air and their discarded exoskeletons decorate tree branches in the southeast and midwest United States at the height of summer. While their ability to emerge in huge numbers is astounding, they have other surprising features too. In fact, their wings kill bacteria on contact and are self-cleaning. Researchers using the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory user facilities investigated this bizarre phenomenon. They learned how structures in the cells are able to pull off such a feat and how it could be used in medical applications.
1-Jul-2024 Three Argonne postdocs invited to prestigious meeting of Nobel laureates DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Three Argonne postdoc scientists have been invited to the prestigious Nobel Laureate Meetings in Lindau, Germany, where they will meet with past Nobel Prize winners in their fields.
