To provide X-ray beams that are both very bright and very tightly focused, an Argonne team had to create a new system of mirrors, lenses and equipment for the upgraded Advanced Photon Source.
Scientists are addressing the vulnerabilities of infrastructure systems through the lens of climate impacts by creating and adapting climate maps to infrastructure as a way for communities to protect themselves from the effects of climate change.
Swapping heavy fuel oil with fuel made from wood waste, waste fats, oils and greases could drastically cut planet-warming emissions from the shipping industry by 40 to 93%.
Construction continues one year after the groundbreaking ceremony for a new building that will house cutting-edge experiments in many fields of science.
Using the powerful X-ray beams of the Advanced Photon Source with new computer-driven algorithms, scientists will be able to study batteries and electronics at nanometer scales.
In graduate school, Argonne postdoctoral researcher Katie Sautter learned to master a machine that builds bits of matter one atomic layer at a time. Now she wields her considerable skills inventing materials for quantum communication devices at Q-NEXT.
High school students mentored by Argonne staff win gold at DuPage County Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) and compete in nationals competition.
For more than 25 years, the Advanced Photon Source’s intense X-rays have enabled important breakthroughs. With a massive upgrade in the works, scientists will be able to see things at scale never seen before.
Costs for energy are borne unequally across the U.S. population. Argonne research is providing key data that can help inform decisions about which technologies can reduce disparities.
