Through the looking glass: How a state-of-the-art optics system will make the APS Upgrade possible
The upgraded Advanced Photon Source will need a new optics system, one that is much more precise than the current one. A team of Argonne specialists created the new system, and even had to invent new tools to design and test it.
Unlocking the secrets of Earth’s early atmosphere
Research partly conducted at the Advanced Photon Source helped scientists discover the composition of Earth’s first atmosphere. What they found raises questions about the origin of life on Earth.
New Argonne partnership to predict fuel injector dynamics
Collaborators use experiments, high-fidelity simulations and machine learning to deliver predictive tools to engine manufacturers.
Caught in the act: New data about COVID-19 virus’s functions could aid in treatment designs
For the first time, a team of researchers has captured X-ray images of a critical enzyme of the COVID-19 virus performing its function. This discovery could improve design of new treatments against the disease.
Argonne’s 2021 Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellows bring new energy, promise to their fields
The Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is proud to welcome five new FY21 Maria Goeppert Mayer Fellows to campus, each chosen for their incredible promise in their respective fields.
