Chemical 'dance' of cobalt catalysis could pave way to solar fuels

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study, scientists at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Harvard University have been able to see for the first time an especially important chemical step in the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen -- the basic reaction at the heart of creating entirely renewable fuels from solar energy.

Muon magnet's moment has arrived

DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

On May 31, the 50-foot-wide superconducting electromagnet at the center of the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab saw its first beam of muon particles from Fermilab's accelerators, kicking off a three-year effort to measure just what happens to those particles when placed in a stunningly precise magnetic field. The answer could rewrite scientists' picture of the universe and how it works.

Seven small businesses have been selected to collaborate with researchers at Argonne to address technical challenges as part of DOE's Small Business Vouchers Program.

The global reach of Argonne's nuclear security training team

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

For more than 40 years, Argonne has promoted the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and technology through its affiliation with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Argonne scientists make vanadium into a useful catalyst for hydrogenation

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study, Argonne chemist Max Delferro boosted and analyzed the unprecedented catalytic activity of an element called vanadium for hydrogenation -- a reaction that is used for making everything from vegetable oils to petrochemical products to vitamins.

Middle school engineers find success in iteration in Electric Car Competition

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne National Laboratory joined with CNH Industrial to showcase the engineering talents of Chicago-area middle school students at the annual Electric Car Competition in March.

Special X-ray technique allows scientists to see 3-D deformations

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study published last Friday in Science, researchers at Argonne used an X-ray scattering technique called Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to reconstruct in 3-D the size and shape of grain defects. These defects create imperfections in the lattice of atoms inside a grain that can give rise to interesting material properties and effects.

Report sheds new insights on the spin dynamics of a material candidate for low-power devices

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In a report published in Nano Letters, Argonne researchers reveal new insights into the properties of a magnetic insulator that is a candidate for low-power device applications; their insights form early stepping-stones towards developing high-speed, low-power electronics that use electron spin rather than charge to carry information.
