A team of scientists from Jefferson Lab and the University of Virginia have turned to machine learning in the quest to streamline beam tuning on the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility – and reduce accelerator downtime. The two-year project grew out of Jefferson Lab’s Laboratory Directed Research and Development program and was recently awarded $1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.

With today’s fast and automated analysis tools, the field of biology is bursting at the seams with datasets about gene sequences and expression in the microbiomes around us – and inside us. We’re rallying the scientific community to make this wealth of data reusable across teams, so that we can advance science rather than duplicate effort.

The new hydropower STEM activity has proved to be fun and relevant for students, and it will be a key part of Argonne’s STEM fest outreach throughout the year.

DOE consortium building pathways to sustainable and commercial bioenergy alternatives hosted a summer workshop for undergraduate students looking for careers and further education in the up-and-coming field of bioenergy.

Making room for the world’s first exascale supercomputer took some supersized renovations.

Frontier still holds the title of world’s fastest supercomputer after new TOP500 lists came out in November 2022, June 2023, and this week, and OLCF engineers expect further tuning to coax even faster speeds from its processors. But the team that broke the exascale barrier knows that distinction can’t last forever.
