Atmospheric observatory opens for operation in Bankhead National Forest

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

DOE's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility has established a cutting-edge atmospheric observatory in an Alabama forest to investigate the complex interactions among clouds, vegetation, and aerosols and advance weather and climate research.

A new era of research comes into focus

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

As the upgrade of the Advanced Photon Source nears completion at Argonne National Laboratory, scientists anticipate the experimental possibilities.

A modular neutrino detector years in the making

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

The prototype DUNE 2x2 detector will capture up to 10,000 neutrino interactions per day. Researchers developed the new detector and advanced machine learning techniques to probe what all those neutrinos are up to.

New upgrade will supercharge atomic vision of the world’s most powerful X-ray laser

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

The Department of Energy (DOE) has given the green light for construction to begin on a high-energy upgrade that will further boost the performance of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s most powerful X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the DOE’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. When complete, the upgrade will allow scientists to explore atomic-scale processes with unprecedented precision and address fundamental questions in energy storage, catalysis, biology, materials science and quantum physics like never before.

Xiaoqian Chen earns DOE Early Career Award for quantum materials research

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

iaoqian Chen, a physicist and beamline scientist at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been selected as one of the 91 early career scientists from across the country to receive research funding through the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program.

AI-guided experiments speed scientific discovery

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Artificial intelligence, high-throughput experimentation, and materials science expertise combine to efficiently develop next-generation energy storage materials.

Old ways making way for new

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — “They say water is life, and that couldn’t be truer,” said Anne Francis, who has spent her life on the Navajo Nation, watching how water sustains the land, the crops and the herds of cattle on her family ranch.

But life on the Navajo Nation is hard.

The vast landscape is dotted with old-fashioned windmills, and many places are untouched by modern conveniences like electricity. Without the right infrastructure, getting water where it needs to go has been a struggle for generations.

A new technology, developed in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories and New Mexico State University, is transforming that struggle into a sustainable solution.

Summer school in session for next-generation nuclear engineers

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Nuclear engineers learn about advancements in nuclear reactor design at Argonne-hosted summer school.

Drilling down to the details in cancer research

DOE/US Department of Energy

When an aggressive cancer launches an invasion on the human body, anything that can be done to slow down or better understand that fast-paced assault is going to be a bonus.
