Unraveling the centuries-old processes behind cement production can lead to sturdier and more cost-effective concrete.

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have made progress toward a higher-capacity lithium-ion battery to meet rising consumer demand.

The two new beamlines will be constructed as part of a comprehensive upgrade of the APS, enhancing its capabilities and maintaining its status as a world-leading facility for X-ray science.

From chemistry to materials science to COVID-19 research, the APS is one of the most productive X-ray light sources in the world. An upgrade will make it a global leader among the next generation of light sources, opening new frontiers in science.

The annual Exemplary Student Research Program welcomes students from Chicagoland high schools to a unique experience: conducting research of their own at Argonne’s scientific facilities.

By studying bird feathers at the Advanced Photon Source, scientists have observed the mechanism that connects those feathers when birds fly.

One of Earth’s most abundant metals, manganese could help replace expensive cobalt in battery cathodes.

If a drop of creamer falls from a spoon into a swirling cup of coffee, the whirlpool drags the drop into rotation. But what would happen if the coffee had no friction — no way to pull the drop into a synchronized spin?

The high cost of platinum catalysts used in hydrogen fuel cells limits the commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles. Scientists are studying alternative catalysts to increase cost-effectiveness and maintain efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells.

Leaders from the world’s best X-ray facilities, including Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, have developed a strategy for cooperatively combating COVID-19.
