Tips for future Argonne interns, from past Argonne interns

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Several members of Argonne’s Student STEM Ambassadors program, having interned at Argonne before, gave future and current interns key suggestions on how to have successful, fulfilling internships.

Junjie Zhu : Then and Now / 2012 Early Career Award Winner

DOE/US Department of Energy

Supported by his Early Career Research Program award, physicist Junjie Zhu’s work at the CERN Large Hadron Collider led to the first-ever evidence of two rare but important physics processes. These interactions produce the particles responsible for nuclear decay.

The tool to build a better battery

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Batteries play a pivotal role in the world’s mission to reach net-zero carbon emissions, from electric vehicles to grid-scale electricity storage to home use.

Kenneth Herwig: Right on target for 25 years in neutron science

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Ken Herwig’s career spanning two-and-a-half decades at ORN includes designing, building and rebuilding scientific instruments used to study the behavior of particles—including SNS’s first instrument, named BASIS.

Q&A: On the road toward cleaner batteries

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Batteries come in many shapes and sizes, but their materials can be hard to source. SLAC researchers are trying to build them with more abundant and ethically mined elements.

Study reveals workings of promising Copper deficiency drug

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Research at Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source has revealed a key mechanism behind a promising drug for copper deficiency disorders.

Silicon nose: Small sensor ‘smells’ incipient seizures

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories and research partner Know Biological have developed a miniaturized sensor system that can detect the specific gases released from the skin of people with epilepsy before a seizure.

How molten salt could be the lifeblood of tomorrow’s nuclear energy

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Molten salt has caught the eye of the nuclear industry as an ideal working fluid for reactor cooling, energy transfer, fueling and fission product absorption.

Scientists use Argonne supercomputer to detail HIV protein mechanism crucial for drug development

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago used the Theta supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility to run simulations on and determine the molecular mechanisms behind the ways that new HIV antivirals could work.

Historic Advanced Photon Source magnet sees the light of day for the first time in 29 years

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In 1994, one of the last magnets produced for the Advanced Photon Source was signed by many who worked on the facility’s construction. That magnet was recently removed to make way for the APS Upgrade, and many of those who signed it are still with the lab.
