Argonne scientists discover possible mechanism for creating 'handedness' in biological molecules
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
The basic molecules that make up all living things have a predetermined chirality or "handedness," similar to the way people are right or left handed. This chirality has a profound influence on the chemistry and molecular interactions of living organisms. Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a way to induce this handedness in pre-biological molecules.

Agent-based computer models could anticipate future economic crisis
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryBusiness Announcement
As the stock market continues its dive, economists and business columnists have spilled a lot of ink assigning responsibility for the ongoing financial calamity. While hindsight might be clear as day, researchers at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are trying to create new economic models that will provide policymakers with more realistic pictures of different types of markets so they can better avert future economic catastrophe.

Argonne scientists peer into heart of compound that may detect chemical, biological weapons
DOE/Argonne National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine.
