	New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobiles Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a technique to peer through high-speed dense liquids using high-energy X-rays from Argonne's Advanced Photon Source.	February 19, 2008
	Wilmington High School wins 13th annual Rube Goldberg Machine Contest A team from Wilmington High School today won Argonne National Laboratory's 13th annual Rube Goldberg Machine Contest held at Chicago Children's Museum on Navy Pier.	February 22, 2008
	Structure of protein collagen seen at unprecedented level of detail The structure and behavior of one of the most common proteins in our bodies has been resolved at a level of detail never before seen, thanks to new research performed at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.

	Argonne's lithium-ion battery technology to be commercialized by Japan's Toda Kogyo Argonne National Laboratory and Toda Kogyo Corp. of Japan have reached a world-wide licensing agreement for the commercial production and sales of Argonne's patented composite cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.	March 13, 2008
	Compound removes radioactive material from power plant waste Scientists at Argonne and Northwestern University have developed a compound that captures strontium 90, a common radioactive by-product of fission in nuclear power plants, so it can be siphoned off and separated from inert material.	March 13, 2008
	Bioinformatics technology developed at Argonne provides new insight into microbial activities Scientists may gain a new insight into the relationship between viruses and their environments thanks to a new computational technology developed by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory.	March 14, 2008
	Students trade in school books for spatulas for 10th Illinois Rube Goldberg Machine Championship Students from across the state will flip burgers and toss condiments during the 10th annual Illinois State Championship Rube Goldberg machine contest, co-sponsored by Argonne National Laboratory.
