Students from groups underrepresented in STEM discover world-class science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics at Argonne through See Yourself in STEAM event.
Argonne’s recent research points to hydropower’s great potential to complement the variability of wind and solar power — and ultimately serve as the backbone for a clean grid.
The National Virtual Climate Laboratory is a comprehensive web portal for climate science projects. It has new website features for students, faculty and researchers including career opportunities, a news section featuring climate and student news, and a calendar of workshops and events.
As the nation celebrates Women’s History Month during March, some women leaders at Argonne share their passions and pitfalls as well as mentors and advice that changed their career trajectories.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have created a new material that uses “redox gating” to control the movement of electrons in and out of a semiconducting material.
A pilot program led by Argonne and the Civic Infrastructure Collaborative uncovers a fun and creative way to make urban transportation more environmentally friendly.
An international team of scientists captures the first clear evidence in the field of Criegee intermediates, which help form aerosols in the atmosphere that impact air quality and human health.
Research groups from Argonne National Laboratory receive 2023 Secretary of Energy Honor Awards, considered the highest form of recognition by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Scientists develop a method for examining what happens when nanoelectronic materials switch between conducting and nonconducting phases. This may accelerate the development of neural-like circuits for use in nanoelectronic devices.
Argonne’s enhanced NERDE data explorer provides community leaders with insights into local economic distress, employment and gross domestic product, local industry clusters, climate risk, and innovation to inform economic resilience planning.
Eighth-grade girls from the Chicago area attend the laboratory’s Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, designed to inspire young women to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
Niobium has long been considered an underperformer in superconducting qubits. Scientists supported by Q-NEXT, a US DOE quantum center led by Argonne, have now engineered a high-quality niobium-based qubit, taking advantage of niobium’s superior qualities.
Analyzing DNA is routine in health care, but some genetic samples come from wilder places. Argonne National Laboratory’s Environmental Sample Preparation and Sequencing Facility has the skills to study nature’s weirdest, rarest genetic material.
More than 75 college students competed to test their skills in the fundamentals of IT and cybersecurity infrastructure in the DOE CyberForce Program’s inaugural Conquer the Hill — Command Edition competition.
A team of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have discovered an intriguing “cooperative” behavior among components in batteries that points to an exciting new approach to designing next-generation technologies. The team found that combining two different types of anions, negatively charged ions, with cations, positively charged ions, can significantly improve the overall battery’s performance.
