DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

The US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory has hired acclaimed researcher Junhong Chen to serve as Lead Water Strategist for the laboratory.

Scientists discover 'electron equivalents' in colloidal systems

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In new research outlined in a recent issue of Science, scientists tethered smaller particles in colloidal crystals to larger ones using DNA, allowing them to determine how the smaller particles filled in the regions surrounding the larger ones.

Chaos Ensues When Lasers and Plasma Meet

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Now, a team built a 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) tool, called Warp+PXR, that enables cutting-edge simulations of laser/plasma coupling mechanisms that were previously out of reach.

A new way to generate solar steam for cleaning water and reducing waste

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

At the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, researchers are exploring affordable materials that could absorb the sunlight necessary to evaporate water and recapture it, leaving contaminants behind.

Argonne delivers first cryomodule for Fermilab neutrino experiment accelerator

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Through a collaboration with DOE's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne is supplying the first eight of 116 superconducting cavities that will create a stream of neutrinos for Fermilab's Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

A glimpse into the future: accelerated computing for accelerated particles

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

A team led by Fermilab has modeled a new method of using machine learning to analyze data from the Large Hadron Collider.

Fermilab's newest accelerator delivers first results

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

IOTA is designed to develop technologies to increase the number of particles in a beam without increasing the beam's size and thus the size and cost of the accelerator. IOTA researchers are investigating a novel technique called nonlinear integrable optics. The technique uses specially designed sets of magnets configured to prevent beam instabilities. The technique was a winner: Scientists observed that these specialized magnets significantly decreased the instability.

First major superconducting component for new high-power particle accelerator arrives at Fermilab

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory

The first cryomodule of Fermilab's PIP-II superconducting accelerator has arrived from Argonne National Laboratory.

For superconductors, discovery comes from disorder

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In a new study, scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have explained the ways in which two electronic arrangements compete with each other and ultimately affect the temperature at which a material becomes superconducting.

Predicting the risk of cancer with computational electrodynamics

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

A team of researchers from Northwestern University is using Argonne supercomputers to develop a low-cost, high-throughput optical microscopy technique capable of detecting macromolecular alterations for predicting and quantifying cancer risks at extremely early stages.
