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.

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The Fellow discusses her efforts to improve power systems and how Argonne has supported her career development.

With new student program, Argonne offers a Bridge Into Internships

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

New student program at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory helps high school students from underserved communities get ready for STEM internships.

Air leak detection system visualizes building drafts with the click of a camera

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new detection system that allows home energy auditors to see air leaking from a building in real time with the help of a camera. It’s an advancement that could provide more accurate readings far more quickly than current diagnostic tools allow.
