Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, Argonne’s annual “Intro to AI-Driven Science on Supercomputers” training series is helping to grow a new generation of AI-ready researchers.
Researchers from DOE and NASA joined forces to use Argonne’s Theta supercomputer to produce 4 million simulated images that are being used to prepare for future observations from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have created a new nickel-rich cathode for lithium-ion batteries that both stores more energy and is more durable than conventional cathodes.
Fourteen teams from 11 schools, including seven schools new to the competition, gathered at Argonne to race. They also learned about teamwork, competition, engineering and problem-solving.
Argonne recently hosted its second Argonne in Chicago Partner Forum in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. Over 80 community leaders, researchers and representatives from industry and civic agencies convened to discuss opportunities for partnership in pursuit of a clean energy future for all.
A joint study by Argonne and MIT highlights the essential role of public transportation in Chicago and warns of serious impacts if the system was removed, including increased traffic congestion, increased pollution, economic decline and activity cancellations.
Argonne National Laboratory’s Office of Community Engagement has established a Memorandum of Understanding with Chicago’s Green Era Campus to pursue research in sustainability in agriculture, renewable energy generation, and food equity and access.
In work supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, a Stanford University group digs into diamond to find the source of its apparently temperamental nature when it comes to emitting quantum signals, widening a path for building quantum networks and sensors.
The science-themed escape room LabEscape, created by UIUC’s Paul Kwiat and supported by the Q-NEXT quantum center, gives fans at Chicago’s C2E2 expo a chance to experience the joy of science. They responded: LabEscape was nearly booked by opening day.
A group of engineers at Argonne National Laboratory is uniquely equipped to design, model and install experimental systems that enable pioneering scientific research.
Argonne’s Aurora supercomputer represents a leap forward in scientific research. Offering unprecedented speed and power, advanced hardware, and AI capabilities, Aurora ushers in a new era of supercomputing to revolutionize the way scientists conduct research and achieve breakthroughs.
Researchers demonstrated a quantum algorithmic speedup with the quantum approximate optimization algorithm, laying the groundwork for advancements in telecommunications, financial modeling, materials science and more.
Physicist David DeMille and chemist Mercouri Kanatzidis were elected to the National Academy of Sciences for their outstanding scientific achievements.
In an effort to address America’s aging energy infrastructure, Argonne scientists are using the power of artificial intelligence to predict potential failures before they occur and strategically optimize repairs, paving the way for a more reliable and efficient electric grid.
Scientists report a family of tin-based catalysts that efficiently converts CO2 into ethanol, acetic acid and formic acid. These liquid hydrocarbons are among the most produced chemicals in the U.S and are found in many commercial products.
A recent analysis shows that renewable energy could be a viable option to diesel fuel for science at the South Pole. The analysis deeply explores the feasibility of replacing part of the energy production at the South Pole with renewable sources.
For the past 15 years, niobium has been considered a mediocre material for qubits, which are the carriers of quantum information. But now a group at Stanford University and the University of Chicago has demonstrated a way to create niobium-based qubits that rival the state-of-the-art for their class. By restructuring and reengineering how niobium is incorporated in a component called the Josephson junction, the group developed a qubit that could maintain information for 62 millionths of a second, 150 times longer than its best-performing niobium predecessors.
From lemur poop to good old human poop, our waste has a story to tell. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory’s Environmental Sample Preparation and Sequencing Facility (ESPSF) has the tools and technology to get to the bottom of genetic mysteries from the natural world. Facility Manager Sarah Owens can help shed light on the quirkier side of genetics.
