Argonne develops new kind of AI model for weather prediction
Argonne environmental and computer scientists have developed a new kind of model, called a foundation model, to predict weather and eventually climate.
Argonne scientists use AI to identify new materials for carbon capture
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have used new generative AI techniques to propose new metal-organic framework materials that could offer enhanced abilities to capture carbon
Argonne researchers to present cutting-edge work at SC23 conference
Argonne scientists recognized for use of exascale computing tools to achieve high-fidelity simulations of advanced nuclear reactor systems and high-resolution simulations that reduce uncertainty in climate model predictions.
Chicago State University to serve as ‘scientific supersite’ to study climate change impact
Argonne and Chicago State University deployed instruments at the Chicago State University Campus to measure Chicago’s changing climate. These sensors are among the first for the Argonne-led Urban Integrated Field Laboratory called Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS).
New tools to combat Chicago’s changing climate
Argonne and Northeastern Illinois University launched instruments to measure Chicago’s changing climate. These sensors are the first for the Argonne-led Urban Integrated Field Laboratory called Community Research on Climate and Urban Science (CROCUS).
What will it cost to cut the carbon footprint of cars sold in the U.S?
Argonne worked with automakers and energy companies to conduct a cradle-to-grave analysis of light-duty vehicles, which estimated the current and potential future costs and greenhouse gas emissions for vehicles over the entire course of their life cycle.
Argonne innovations and technology to help drive circular economy
In a collaborative effort to “recover, recycle and reuse,” Argonne strengthens research that addresses pollution, greenhouse gases and climate change and aligns with new policies for carbon emission reduction.
Argonne develops unprecedented long-term wildfire prediction model
Wildfire indices and high-resolution climate models combine to produce a detailed historical analysis of wildfire events across the U.S. and suggest the potential for more severe and frequent fires in the latter half of the century.
Argonne National Laboratory and AT&T extend climate resiliency project nationwide
Argonne and AT&T have been working together to project risks from changing climate on America’s Southeastern region. Today they’ve announced that they’re extending their analysis to cover the entire contiguous U.S.
