Four major Illinois research institutions form a collaboration to improve urban forest drought resilience

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

Argonne, The Morton Arboretum, the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign received a grant from NOAA to assess drought resilience in the urban tree canopy.

Bright lights, big data: how Argonne is bringing supercomputing and X-rays together for scientific breakthroughs

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne’s newest supercomputer, Polaris, is up and running, and scientists using the Advanced Photon Source are already seeing faster data analysis. While the combination is paying dividends now, it points toward an upgraded APS and an even better supercomputer called Aurora.

Expertise in 3D printing — and a little sabotage — reveal new heights and less waste

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In ideal manufacturing, 3D printing reduces waste, uses less energy and produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions. An entrepreneur and scientist at Argonne National Laboratory are working together to make this future ideal a reality.

How Argonne is pushing the boundaries of quantum technology research

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

With its Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center (Q-NEXT) and its quantum research team, Argonne is a hub for research that could change the way we process and transmit information.

A new quantum approach to solve electronic structures of complex materials

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago explore the possibility of solving the electronic structures of complex molecules using a quantum computer.

National laboratories partner with minority-serving institutions to prepare students for the new energy workforce

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Business Announcement

Argonne is partnering with Brookhaven National Laboratory and University of Puerto Rico-Río Piedras to engage students who are largely underrepresented in the atmospheric and Earth system sciences workforce.

Projects to fight biological threats receive $5 million in federal funding

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

To help computer models better mimic reality, Argonne National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories will collaborate on agent-based modeling projects.

Tiny movements, deep inside a battery

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

Argonne researchers have used a cutting-edge X-ray technique to view the movements of components inside an operating battery cell. The study is one of the first times that such movements have been directly observed at the scale of a millionth of a meter.
