Two Argonne scientists, Karen Mulfort and Di-Jia Liu, have been elected as Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for achievements in their field.

Argonne innovations squeeze more out of used nuclear fuel and rare earth materials

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

New technology could prove effective in nuclear fuel recycling and other metal recovery processes.

Building blocks of innovation: Light-induced symmetry changes in tiny crystals

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne researchers have shown that they can use light to temporarily alter the crystal symmetry within lead sulfide quantum dots. This process reduces the off-centering of lead atoms and affects the electronic properties of the quantum dots.
