Through its Nexus effort, Argonne National Laboratory is working to closely integrate supercomputers with experiments to help researchers keep pace with the ever-increasing influx of scientific data.
As an engineer of high-performance molecular qubits, Q-NEXT collaborator and UChicago grad student Chloe Washabaugh takes on the erudite, the everyday and everything in between.
With support from the Q-NEXT quantum center, scientists leverage nanoscale-research facilities to conduct pioneering precision studies of qubits in silicon carbide, leading to a better understanding of quantum devices and higher performance.
10 postdoctoral researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory were recently recognized at the laboratory’s 2023 Postdoctoral Performance Awards, which were presented in a ceremony on Nov. 9.
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory studied how insect communities responded to newly established habitats on solar energy facilities built on retired agricultural land. At the end of five years, all habitat and biodiversity metrics increased.
Despite growing up in the Chicago area, Yasleen Muñoz — currently studying environmental biology at Harold Washington City College in Chicago — knew very little about the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory in suburban Lemont, Ill.Then one day this fall, she received an email out of the blue, inviting her to First Look@Argonne.
In an AI-based exploration of 160 billion organic molecules, Argonne National Laboratory scientists identified about 40 liquid hydrogen carriers that could one day fuel cars, trucks, buses, trains and ships and generate energy for consumers.
As most shoppers looking for a new vehicle know, electric vehicles typically carry a relatively hefty price tag. A primary contributor to this expense are the lithium-ion batteries that power the vehicle. Significantly reducing that cost would bring us closer to transportation solutions that are eco- and wallet-friendly. Researchers at the U.
An imaging method for sensitive materials conducted at Argonne National Laboratory reveals previously unseen changes in ice even when the temperatures are well below zero degrees Celsius.
Conventional computer processors have pretty much maxed out their “clock speeds” — a measurement of how fast they can toggle on and off — due to limitations of electronic switching.
Argonne National Laboratory’s Theta supercomputer will be retired at the end of 2023, ending a productive run of enabling scientific breakthroughs in areas ranging from materials discovery to supernova simulations.
Some of the work happening today at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory can already be felt in the form of new vaccines, accessible climate models and big steps toward quantum computing.
Alexander Zholents, a senior physicist at Argonne National Laboratory, is one of the recipients of the 2023 Dieter Möhl Award. The award honors the late Dieter Möhl, a pioneer in the realm of particle beam cooling and celebrates achievements in the field.
For the first time, scientists publish results on a new chip composed of diamond and lithium niobate. The results demonstrate the combination as a promising candidate for quantum devices.
When Akshata and Anagha Tiwari, two sisters studying at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, attended a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) research symposium at the university in 2022, they already had firsthand experience with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. In high school, both attended Argonne’s Big Data Camp – a workshop where high school juniors and seniors apply real research data to develop the professional skills and perspective of data scientists.
Nuclear science and technology (NST) impact our daily lives in a myriad of ways. From nuclear power to radiation cancer treatments and agriculture protection, NST is critical to improving the standard of living in countries with growing energy requirements.
Yesterday marked the release of a highly anticipated report from the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), unveiling an exciting new roadmap for unlocking the secrets of the cosmos through particle physics.The report was released by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel to the High Energy Physics program of the Office of Science of the U.
