Methanol is a key feedstock for the production of chemicals, some of which are used to make products such as plastics, plywood, and paint

Scientists have for the first time been able to see an especially important step in the water-splitting process, which may bring us closer to abundant solar energy for all

This reaction is used for making everything from vegetable oils to petrochemical products to vitamins

Capacity fade is the reason why a cell phone battery that used to last a whole day will, after a couple of years, last perhaps only a few hours

In a paper published Apr. 21 in Science, Argonne and Temple University researchers describe the behavior of metal nanoparticles by watching them in real time as they oxidized

In a recent study, researchers developed a new way to create some of the world’s thinnest wires, using a process that could enable mass manufacturing with standard types of equipment

Computational protocol may one day enable drug developers to craft novel, therapeutic peptides that precisely target specific disease-causing molecules within the body

Argonne National Laboratory researchers have discovered a new approach to detail the formation of material changes at the atomic scale and in near-real time

By observing the change in the behavior of these electrons, scientists may be able to gain an enriched understanding of material behavior

Recently developed ultra-low-friction sliding contact mechanism uses chilled water to remove heat from a key component of a next-generation collider

Since its inception, I3 has been a valuable resource for researchers at the lab looking to combine different imaging approaches to solve complex problems

Supercomputer simulations and as well as lab-based experiments showed that water serves as an invisible cage for the growth of micelle fibers

In order to uncover the structure of these proteins, researchers used a technique called protein crystallography

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have designed an inexpensive thermal energy storage system that will be significantly smaller and perform more than 20 times better than current thermal systems

To understand how molecules undergo light-driven chemical transformations, scientists need to be able to follow the atoms and electrons within the energized molecule as it rides on the energy "roller coaster"
