Chain Reaction Innovations expands scope of program, announces new call for applications

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Chain Reaction Innovations, the entrepreneurship program at Argonne National Laboratory, is expanding beyond advanced manufacturing and now open to any technology area that can be accelerated to market by leveraging resources available at Argonne.

Getting a look under the hood of topological insulators

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Because of topological insulators' unique electronic properties and their potential use in spintronic devices and even conceivably as transistors for quantum computers, scientists at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory investigated the dynamics of the conducting surface electrons in these materials.

Fermilab achieves world-record field strength for accelerator magnet

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab have announced that they achieved the highest magnetic field strength ever recorded for an accelerator steering magnet, setting a world record of 14.1 teslas, with the magnet cooled to 4.5 kelvins or minus 450 degrees Fahrenheit. The previous record of 13.8 teslas, achieved at the same temperature, was held for 11 years by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
