Argonne to work with nuclear companies in 3 projects funded by the Department of Energy

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory will be partnering with three companies as part of a voucher program provided by the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.

Time projection chamber installed at sPHENIX

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Experts assembling sPHENIX, a state-of-the-art particle detector at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, successfully installed a major tracking component on Jan. 19. The Time Projection Chamber, or TPC, is one of the final pieces to move into place before sPHENIX begins tracking particle smash-ups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) this spring.

Rinse and repeat: an easy new way to recycle batteries is here

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

A battery material that dissolves in water will reduce the cost, complexity, and environmental impact of recycling lithium-ion batteries, so we can reuse the valuable and increasingly rare metals within.

Argonne's Sibendu Som named American Society of Mechanical Engineers Fellow

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Sibendu Som, whose work focuses on high-fidelity simulations of power generation and propulsion systems, has been designated a fellow by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Brookhaven Lab's Alistair Rogers named 2022 AAAS Fellow

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Alistair Rogers, a plant physiologist who leads the Terrestrial Ecosystem Science & Technology (TEST) Group in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been named a 2022 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

A fresh look at restoring power to the grid

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories computer scientists have been working on an innovative computer model to help grid operators quickly restore power to the grid after a complete disruption, a process called “black start.”

Starting small: Three microgrid projects bring clean energy to army in Kwait

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

When U.S. military members are deployed in the Middle East, they often have limited access to sustainable energy sources. To help reduce carbon emissions from troops abroad, Idaho National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Defense are developing three pilot demonstration projects that will establish clean energy and sustainability solutions for the U.S. Army Central Command in Kuwait. The projects are part of a program called Operational Energy.

Jamey Young: Then and Now / 2012 Early Career Award Winner

DOE/US Department of Energy

Engineering professor Jamey Young at Vanderbilt University is developing new strategies for engineering the metabolism of cyanobacteria. He is working to create “green cell factories” for producing renewable fuel compounds.

George Crabtree, energy trailblazer remembered as a “great listener” and “boundless explorer”, dead at 78

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

George Crabtree, director of the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research at Argonne and a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is fondly remembered for his impactful leadership that elevated energy research.

Celebrating the upcoming sPHENIX detector

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Asmeret Asefaw Berhe, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science, visited DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Jan. 27 to celebrate the fast-approaching debut of a state-of-the-art particle detector known as sPHENIX. The house-sized, 1000-ton detector is slated to begin collecting data at Brookhaven Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a DOE Office of Science User Facility for nuclear physics research, this spring.
