Seven small businesses have been selected to collaborate with researchers at Argonne to address technical challenges as part of DOE’s Small Business Vouchers Program.

In a newly published Science paper, Argonne and Temple University researchers by integrated X-ray imaging and computer modeling and simulation to reveal new knowledge about the behavior of metal nanoparticles when they undergo oxidation. This knowledge adds to our understanding of fundamental processes like oxidation and corrosion.

Scientists at Argonne have invented a new foam, called Oleo Sponge, that not only easily adsorbs spilled oil from water, but is also reusable and can pull dispersed oil from the entire water column—not just the surface.

A collaboration between Argonne National Laboratory and Kyma Technologies focusing on advanced semiconductor devices has earned a spot in the second cohort of DOE’s Technologist In Residence (TIR) Program.
