Argonne National Laboratory

Broad collaborative research effort offers glimpse into the future of nuclear energy

Problem: Argonne National Laboratory is tasked with measuring all types of
climate information—often working in some of the world’s harshest environments

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

The method was discovered by UW scientists and confirmed in tests at Argonne

Nano Design Works and the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science will provide central points of contact for companies

MOU clears way for expanded research opportunities.

When we drive past sunny fields of grapes, we might think we're seeing how they’re doing—but much more is going on invisible to the human eye: vines and roots teeming with bacteria, viruses and fungi that all impact how those grapes will grow.

Work could lead to better medical sprays that are more effective and deliver more types of drugs.

A new version of an online tool created by the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory will help biofuels developers gain a detailed understanding of water consumption of various types of feedstocks, aiding development of sustainable fuels that will reduce impact on limited water resources.

Sparks literally fly when a sperm and an egg hit it off. The fertilized mammalian egg releases from its surface billions of zinc atoms in “zinc sparks,” one wave after another, found a Northwestern University-led interdisciplinary research team that includes experts from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory.
