Laurent Chapon has been appointed director of the Advanced Photon Source (APS). Chapon will lead the Photon Sciences Directorate at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory through a massive upgrade of the user facility.

Progress in applied research at Argonne National Laboratory raises hopes that solid-state batteries will replace conventional lithium-ion batteries sooner rather than later.

Scientists develop groundbreaking theory for calculating what’s happening inside a proton travelling at the speed of light.

As rising sea levels threaten coastal areas, scientists are using an emerging nuclear dating technique to track the ins and outs of water flow.

Early career scientists from around the world got intensive, hands-on training using supercomputers at the coveted Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing.

Experiments will give scientists a closer look at how exploding stars create world’s heaviest elements.

Using X-ray techniques, scientists will study tiny specks of asteroid 162173 Ryugu, collected by a Japanese space mission. Learning more about how this asteroid formed will further our understanding of the solar system, including Earth’s formation.
