Argonne organization's scholarship fund blazes STEM pathway

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In the past 10 years, Argonne's Hispanic/Latino club has awarded more than $35,000 in education funds to area youth. In 2015, Noemy Escamilla was one of those recipients. Escamilla was awarded a summer 2019 internship, and serendipitously chosen to work alongside the very people who chose her for the scholarship years before.

Argonne harnesses virtual power to address the most complex challenges in nuclear science

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

Designing a new type of nuclear reactor is a complicated endeavor requiring billions of dollars and years of development. Because of the high cost, Argonne researchers are running a broad suite of computational codes on supercomputers that offer power available at only a few sites worldwide.

Argonne explores how ants, bees, and fruit flies can be the next big buzz in artificial intelligence

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The ability to learn and adapt in real time is a central feature of biological systems. Researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are exploring the use of neuromorphic computer chips that demonstrate this versatility to enhance our ability to efficiently process information in space and in other extreme environments.
