New framework for identifying material coatings that can be used in nuclear reactors finds alternative to nickel-based alloys
Argonne scientists designed a way to optimize discovery of nuclear material coatings and identified a promising new candidate along the way.
Smart diagnostics: How Argonne could use Generative AI to empower nuclear plant operators
In a new conference paper, Argonne engineers test advanced AI to see if it could help nuclear power plant operators understand and fix problems more easily.
A fresh set of eyes on next-generation nuclear reactors
Five early and mid-career scientists from Argonne National Laboratory divide and conquer varied challenges to improve nuclear science and technology and help the U.S. meet its future energy goals.
American nuclear power plants are among the most secure in the world — what if they could be less expensive, too?
Argonne collaborates with Purdue University on new research aimed at lowering the cost of developing small nuclear reactors.
A revolution in the making
Argonne National Laboratory is shaping Industry 4.0 with groundbreaking research into advanced ways of making things more effective, efficient and economical, using the most cutting-edge materials and processes, with the lowest possible environmental impact.
Argonne’s Jordi Roglans-Ribas claims second Secretary’s Honor Award
Decades-long commitment to advancing peaceful nuclear energy and national security is lauded by U.S. Department of Energy.
University of Rhode Island, Flinders University (Australia) formalize partnership in support of AUKUS Agreement
The University of Rhode Island has formalized a research and education partnership with Australia’s Flinders University that advances AUKUS, a security partnership signed by the governments of the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom. URI’s agreement with Flinders will bolster Australia’s efforts to produce the skilled workforce it needs to deliver on the AUKUS security pact, which includes a phased approach to build Australia’s undersea capability through the acquisition of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines.
Expertise in 3D printing — and a little sabotage — reveal new heights and less waste
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.
Chicago Pile 1: A bold nuclear physics experiment with enduring impact
Enrico Fermi’s Chicago Pile 1 experiment in 1942 launched an atomic age, an unrivaled national laboratory system, fleets of submarines, cancer treatments and the unending promise of clean nuclear energy. Argonne National Laboratory builds on its legacy.
5 big strides from Argonne towards nuclear energy’s future
Nuclear energy is an exciting carbon-free energy source. Recent work at Argonne National Laboratory shows how nuclear energy can improve and why it is such an enticing resource in the fight against climate change.
