Writing computer codes to support scientific research is a time-consuming manual process. But what if scientists could code as fast as they could think? Vibe coding tools could be a key to accelerating the pace of scientific discovery.
Monte Carlo code simulates how subatomic particles move and interact with matter, guiding safer, more efficient and economical nuclear reactor designs and supporting a resurgence of fusion research.
The study combines advanced simulations with real-world testing to predict how feedwater heater tubes, which preheat water before it enters a nuclear reactor, break down over time.
American Nuclear Society’s magazine again singles out young researchers from Argonne National Laboratory for contributions to the field of nuclear energy.
Researchers use Argonne’s APS to capture how the microstructure of metals evolves in real time during 3D printing. The findings could pave the way for advanced manufacturing of components for aerospace, defense and energy.
