Scientist Michael Wang from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory was recently inducted as a Fellow of the professional engineering organization SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers). The organization reserves this prestigious grade of membership for those who have made significant contributions to mobility technology and have demonstrated leadership in their field.

etmarie Matos Vazquez came to the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory seeking a more in-depth understanding of science beyond what her university could provide. Almost as soon as she stumbled upon a DOE website about internship opportunities, she knew that DOE's laboratory system, and Argonne specifically, had exactly what she needed. Currently, she is working on a project that offers the potential to improve the aspect resolution of a wide array of microscopes.

Alec Lancaster, a theoretical physics and applied mathematics major at Loyola University Chicago, is part of the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program, funded by DOE's Office of Science. He spent the summer looking for a specific kind of supernova in the data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), an intensive five-year probe of the southern sky. The ultimate goal of the research is to use known properties of those supernovae to determine the accelerated rate of expansion of the universe.

Argonne scientists from multiple disciplines are leveraging their collective expertise and world-class facilities to solve complex grid-related problems.

With the help of his advisor, an APS intern worked to develop an automated system at the 1-ID beamline that can collect X-ray data and reduce the need for human intervention.

A crucial step has been achieved in understanding quantum optical behavior of semiconductor nanomaterials.

Is it possible to predict what type of material an unidentified element will be in bulk quantities solely based on the properties it exhibits over a limited range of the subnano to nano size régime? It is, according to Argonne scientists.

Argonne scientists and engineers see their work with interns in the tribology group as an investment. Some of the interns will go on to get Ph.D.s, some will return to Argonne for careers -- all of them offer fresh perspectives.
