How sweet: Researchers find what makes chocolate melt in your mouth

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Researchers have used X-ray techniques to investigate particular features of the geometric configuration of tiny particles of chocolate to see how they impact mouthfeel.

Tune in to Tetrahedral Superstructures

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Shape affects how the particles fit together and, in turn, the resulting material. For the first time, a team observed the self-assembly of nanoparticles with tetrahedral shapes.

Argonne training program prepares researchers for scientific computing in the exascale era

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

From July 28 to Aug. 9, 73 students participated in the 2019 Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing (ATPESC) organized by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and funded by DOE's Exascale Computing Project (ECP).
