Urban climate research project helps shape minority students’ science identity

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

An Urban Integrated Field Laboratory led by Argonne is focusing on creating a diverse next generation workforce and involving students in tackling future urban climate challenges.

From atomic nuclei to astrophysics, collaborative program builds basis for scientific discoveries

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is leading two nuclear physics research projects within the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing, or SciDAC, program from the Department of Energy Office of Science. One of the projects is called Nuclear Computational Low-Energy Initiative, or NUCLEI. The other is Exascale Nuclear Astrophysics for FRIB, or ENAF. FRIB refers to the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, a DOE-supported research, teaching and training center located at Michigan State University.

Jim Sebek wins 2023 Lytle Award for decades of synchrotron problem solving and dedication

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Jim Sebek, an electrical engineer and physicist at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, will receive this year’s Farrel W. Lytle Award for countless contributions towards building, maintaining and operating the synchrotron for nearly four decades.

Reduced nitrogen oxide emissions from industrial vehicles ahead

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

A new discovery by PNNL researchers has illuminated a previously unknown key mechanism that could inform the development of new, more effective catalysts for abating NOx emissions from combustion-engines burning diesel or low carbon fuel.

Increasing national security with satellites that team together

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Sandia National Laboratories has been working on an autonomy project led by the Air Force Research Laboratory that could improve the nation’s ability to conduct national security missions, including intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, climate monitoring and emergency response.

Post-COVID, systems need to be crisis-ready for better public health response

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

High performance computing resources, advanced epidemiological models, and powerful algorithms will make dealing with future crises much easier, thanks to research led by Argonne National Laboratory.

High-tech invisible ink spells trouble for counterfeiters

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

A high-tech invisible ink invented at Sandia National Laboratories could become the newest tool for stopping counterfeit goods. The research team is now seeking partnerships to help develop and ultimately commercialize the new technology.

Making batteries for electric vehicles more sustainable

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Researchers developed a new battery material called disordered rock salt (DRX) that could pave the way for replacing gasoline vehicles with electric vehicles at a faster rate. DRX cathodes could be ready to commercialize in just a few years.

Traineeships aim to boost inclusion, support minorities in nuclear physics

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Successful DOE pilot traineeship program aimed at bolstering representation of Black, Hispanic, and other minorities in the field will continue, expand opportunities

High school students working with Argonne and Fermilab qualify for the NAACP Olympics

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Under mentorship from Argonne and Fermilab experts, six high school students went on to participate in the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics in Boston in July.
