Four of the nation’s top scientists have each been awarded $1 million in direct funding via the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Distinguished Scientist Fellows program.
Argonne, Purdue University workshop focuses on advancing next-generation microelectronics technology.
Scientists developed a novel technique using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to study soft matter at the nanoscale. This method enables precise determination of the flow behavior of nanoparticles in soft matter exposed to an external stimulus.
Transition metal carbides (TMCs) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are emerging as key players with transformative potential across various industries.
Over the next three years, European researchers aim to construct passive ventilation systems not from concrete or steel, but from a wood-based foam.
Esther Sans Takeuchi, a materials scientist and chemical engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, was honored by the Journal of Physical Chemistry C in a special Festschrift issue earlier this year.
Argonne team developed a new microscopy technique that uses electrical pulses to track the nanosecond dynamics within a material that is known to form charge density waves. Controlling these waves may lead to faster and more energy-efficient electronics.
Membrane filtering of fluids is central to industries that include everything from biotechnology to petrochemicals to water treatment to food and beverage. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne scientists have discovered new behavior of membranes that could lead to separations through pores consistently about ten billionths of a meter.
The first generation of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles has been a remarkable success story. Yet, the question arises: What changes to battery materials will spur further advances? U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory scientists have discovered the culprit behind the performance fade in a nickel-rich cathode composition capable of much higher energy storage, leading to longer driving range.
A star material for hosting quantum information, diamond nevertheless presents a challenge: Signals from the bits of quantum information embedded in diamond are often messy and inconsistent. In work supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, which is led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, a Stanford University group has uncovered the source its apparently temperamental nature. Zooming in on diamond’s atomic-level makeup, they demonstrated that the diamond’s variegated interior largely explained the erratic signals from quantum bits embedded within.
Michael Tonks, Ph.D., was named acting chair of the Department of Materials Science & Engineering. His work contributes to NASA's fuel development program
Argonne scientists designed a way to optimize discovery of nuclear material coatings and identified a promising new candidate along the way.
Scientists have made significant strides in understanding the properties of a ferroelectric material under an electric field. This breakthrough holds potential for advances in computer memory, lasers and sensors for ultraprecise measurements.
Argonne clean-energy projects are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. Projects build on Argonne’s leading role in decarbonizing the U.S. economy.
Substances called polyethylene glycols, or PEGs, are widely used in industry, medical, cosmetics and personal care products. The problem is, when they enter the environment and build up, they can harm ecosystems and natural resources.
CHARM3D paves the way for the efficient printing of free-standing 3D structures that offer high electrical conductivity, self-healing capabilities and recyclability — a boon for electronics in healthcare, communications and security
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal.
Building on nearly 15 years of research, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring magnetrons as the drivers of modern particle accelerators. This could lower the carbon footprint of these energy-hungry machines and help them benefit society far beyond the realm of scientific research.
Advanced manufacturing speeding up development of custom electronic connectors for weapons systems.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have successfully demonstrated an innovative approach to find breakthrough materials for quantum applications. The approach uses rapid computing methods to predict the properties of hundreds of materials, identifying short lists of the most promising ones.
