Researchers look for concrete answers to decades-old art mystery

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

X-rays from Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source could help illuminate the contents of artist Wolf Vostell’s Concrete Book. The answer may change the way this artist’s work is studied and presented.

Peering deep into a flame

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, Yale University and Penn State University refined and used an X-ray technique to measure temperatures in an extremely hot, soot-laden flame produced by combustion.

Advanced microscope techniques could pave way for improved computer memories

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Highly-resolved microscopy technique helps show temperature-dependent phase transitions at tiny and fast scales.
