The future of grid energy storage starts today

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

PNNL’s Grid Storage Launchpad delivers tomorrow’s energy storage solutions today

Argonne’s Chain Reaction Innovations program supports breakthrough technologies

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Startups embedded in Argonne’s world-class laboratory work with scientists to create market-ready businesses that are the future of clean energy technology.

Cabling for LHC upgrade wraps up

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Experts at Berkeley Lab finished winding more than 2000 kilometers of superconducting wire into cables for new magnets that will help upgrade the Large Hadron Collider and the search for new physics.

‘Doubly magic’ rare isotope oxygen-28 can’t overcome its neutron-rich instability

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Rare isotope oxygen-28 has been determined to be "barely unbound" by experiments led by researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and by computer simulations conducted at ORNL. The findings from this first-ever observation of 28O answer a longstanding question in nuclear physics: can you get bound isotopes in a very neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart, where instability and radioactivity are the norm?

Tomas Polakovic develops the next generation of superconducting particle detectors

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellow describes his research on superconducting nanowires and how Argonne has supported his career development.

The race to build the world’s smallest atomic clock, again

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Yuan-Yu Jau is on a quest to build the world’s smallest atomic clock, a device that measures time with extreme accuracy. If successful, he and his team at Sandia National Laboratories will have made one smaller than a sugar cube. But he’s not the only one pushing the limits of tiny timepieces.

A brave and daring poem by the IDREAM team

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

DOE Basic Energy Sciences 2023 “Poetry of Science Art Contest” aims to educate and inspire; voting for the People’s Choice Award closes September 15.

Nearly 100 next-gen scientists intern with biologists, environmental scientists at ORNL

DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Nearly 100 interns were introduced to Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s biological and environmental research over the summer of 2023 as mentors and students were eager to share knowledge and skills to address the nation’s energy and environmental challenges.
