Science beyond Siri: A team of educators and computer scientists take on AI

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Soon enough, AI competency will be an essential workforce skill. A group of computer scientists and learning science experts are considering what a foundational introduction to AI might look like for middle school and high school students.

Supporting innovation with automation: INL researcher develops autonomous hot cell tool

DOE/Idaho National Laboratory

Kamrynn Schiller, an Idaho National Laboratory nuclear research facility engineer, has designed a robotic system to support post-irradiation examination work at INL’s Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory (IMCL).

Luisella Lari Joins Brookhaven Lab as Electron-Ion Collider Project Manager

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory has named Luisella Lari as Project Manager for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)—a one-of-a-kind nuclear physics research facility that will offer a closer look at the building blocks of matter—effective Oct. 3, 2022.

Mentoring the next generation STEM workforce

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Mentoring interns creates opportunities to inspire the future, diverse workforce with pathways into STEM careers.

Chi-Chang Kao to step down as SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory director

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Chi-Chang Kao has decided to return to research after serving 10 years as director of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He will continue in the lab director role until a replacement is found.

From extracting DNA to networking: Students consider STEM careers at Argonne’s Hispanic/Latino Education Outreach Day

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Students from the Little Village Lawndale High School Campus saw how Argonne scientists — many of Hispanic/Latino heritage — perform pivotal research during the 17th annual Hispanic/Latino Education Outreach Day.

What will it cost to cut the carbon footprint of cars sold in the US?

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne worked with automakers and energy companies to conduct a cradle-to-grave analysis of light-duty vehicles, which estimated the current and potential future costs and greenhouse gas emissions for vehicles over the entire course of their life cycle.

The National Quantum Information Science Research Centers host second successful career fair

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

To bring key players in the field together with new talent from across the country, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers (NQISRCs) sponsored a second virtual QIS career fair on Sept. 14, 2022, led by Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA).

Setting a new course for All About Energy, a data-driven program for Chicago high school students

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

All About Energy challenges high school students from across Chicago to research data and raise awareness of environmental justice issues that affect local communities.

How do you solve a problem like a proton? You smash it to smithereens – then build it back together with machine learning

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Berkeley Lab scientists have developed new machine learning algorithms to accelerate the analysis of data collected decades ago by HERA, the world’s most powerful electron-proton collider that ran at the DESY national research center in Germany from 1992 to 2007. Their work could help accelerate technological advancements based on proton spin, and help scientists gain new insight into the strong force, a fundamental property that gives all protons and therefore atoms mass.
