Using fire management to see how ticks…tick

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Ph.D. student and summer interns at Brookhaven National Laboratory study how fire impacts notorious disease vectors.

New software provides advanced grid simulation capabilities

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed new software using electromagnetic transient analysis, a type of electric grid simulation, to speed up calculations that more accurately predict how modern power electronics will affect grid operations. This provides an essential tool for planning, design and operation of the modern power grid as it incorporates new renewable power generation and electric vehicle chargers.

Creating carbon negative materials with ancient microbes

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Our bioproduct experts collaborated with industry to help scale-up a promising microbe-made plastic alternative built from the carbon in methane gas.

Artificial intelligence tools secure tomorrow’s electric grid

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and partner institutions have launched a project to develop an innovative suite of tools that will employ machine learning algorithms for more effective cybersecurity analysis of the U.S. power grid.

Free 3D-printing datasets enable analysis, confidence in printed parts

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has publicly released a new set of additive manufacturing data that industry and researchers can use to evaluate and improve the quality of 3D-printed components. The breadth of the datasets can significantly boost efforts to verify the quality of additively manufactured parts using only information gathered during printing, without requiring expensive and time-consuming post-production analysis.

Ushering in a brilliant future at the Advanced Photon Source

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Dignitaries and luminaries attended a dedication ceremony for the upgraded Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The new facility will open new doors to discovery.

Second “You Belong in Quantum” series highlights unconventional career pathways

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

The "You Belong in Quantum" series, hosted by the Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), highlights non-traditional career paths in quantum information science (QIS). The second virtual session on April 30 featured diverse speakers discussing their unique journeys into QIS.

In-house advanced manufacturing techniques help meet mission needs

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

A group at Sandia National Laboratories is transforming how it develops custom electronic connectors for weapons systems.

Game-changing quantum chemistry calculations push new boundaries of exascale Frontier

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers conduct largest, most accurate molecular dynamics simulations to date of two million correlated electrons using Frontier, the world’s fastest supercomputer. The simulation, which exceed an exaflop using full double precision, is 1,000 times greater in size and speed than any quantum chemistry simulation of it's kind.
