With automated treatment, affordable water from nontraditional sources can flow to underserved communities

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are developing advanced automation techniques for desalination and water treatment plants, enabling them to save while providing affordable drinking water to small, parched communities without high-quality water supplies.

Alyssa Kody is helping develop a low-carbon power grid

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The Fellow discusses her efforts to improve power systems and how Argonne has supported her career development.

With new student program, Argonne offers a Bridge Into Internships

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

New student program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory helps high school students from underserved communities get ready for STEM internships.

Air leak detection system visualizes building drafts with the click of a camera

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new detection system that allows home energy auditors to see air leaking from a building in real time with the help of a camera. It’s an advancement that could provide more accurate readings far more quickly than current diagnostic tools allow.

Cabling for LHC upgrade wraps up

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Experts at Berkeley Lab finished winding more than 2000 kilometers of superconducting wire into cables for new magnets that will help upgrade the Large Hadron Collider and the search for new physics.

‘Doubly magic’ rare isotope oxygen-28 can’t overcome its neutron-rich instability

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Rare isotope oxygen-28 has been determined to be "barely unbound" by experiments led by researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and by computer simulations conducted at ORNL. The findings from this first-ever observation of 28O answer a longstanding question in nuclear physics: can you get bound isotopes in a very neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart, where instability and radioactivity are the norm?

Tomas Polakovic develops the next generation of superconducting particle detectors

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellow describes his research on superconducting nanowires and how Argonne has supported his career development.

The race to build the world’s smallest atomic clock, again

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Yuan-Yu Jau is on a quest to build the world’s smallest atomic clock, a device that measures time with extreme accuracy. If successful, he and his team at Sandia National Laboratories will have made one smaller than a sugar cube. But he’s not the only one pushing the limits of tiny timepieces.
