A DOE lab, we deliver science and tech solutions to energy, climate change, environmental, and nat. security challenges.
About us
Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratories for science and engineering research, employs 3,400 employees, including 1,400 scientists and engineers, three-quarters of whom hold doctoral degrees. Argonne's annual operating budget of around $1 billion supports upwards of 200 research projects. Since 1990, Argonne has worked with more than 600 companies and numerous federal agencies and other organizations. Argonne's mission is to apply a unique mix of world-class science, engineering and user facilities to deliver innovative research and technologies. We create new knowledge that addresses the most important scientific and societal needs of our nation. We actively seek opportunities to work with industry to transfer our technologies to the marketplace through licensing, joint research and many other collaborative relationships. Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. We are located on 1,500 acres (6.9 sq. km) in southwest DuPage County, Illinois 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Chicago. The site is completely encircled by the beautiful Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve.

Argonne continues to develop the next generation of #cybersecurity professionals in the energy sector with the annual CyberForce® Program Competition - https://bit.ly/4dKYWZK College and university teams from across the country will gather on November 8-9 to defend critical infrastructure systems from simulated cyberattacks. In this year’s challenge, teams will work to keep a wind power system running while simultaneously defending against potential cyberattacks. “As we undergo an energy transition, it is critical that we build a strong cyber workforce to ensure the next generation of energy systems are built, maintained and operated with cybersecurity in mind,” said Puesh M. Kumar, director of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER), which co-leads this event with Argonne. “The CyberForce Competition helps grow cyber defenders who will help us secure U.S. energy systems of today, and the future.”

At Tuesday's STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice (SLECoP) convening, Argonne joined a coalition of STEM leaders to explore new pathways toward a more inclusive future in STEM education. Meridith Bruozas, Director of Institutional Partnerships at Argonne, presented on the Mapping Chicago’s STEM Opportunity Landscape project—an Argonne-led initiative dedicated to expanding STEM access and creating new opportunities for students across Chicago. STEM mapping is an information-gathering process that identifies STEM resources and bridge gaps in nine communities on Chicago’s South Side. This innovative approach helps make STEM opportunities more accessible for all students.

On this Dark Matter Day, discover how Argonne is preparing for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), a 10-year survey of the cosmos during which the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile will take 5.5 million images of the sky - https://bit.ly/4efKZDk As part of the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), Argonne scientists are working to uncover the true nature of dark matter and dark energy. They're maximizing the potential for discovery in LSST data through cosmological simulation, advanced analysis and collaborative partnership. #DarkMatterDay

It's Dark Matter Day! Every Halloween, we are reminded that not everything in the cosmos is visible to us. Just like Halloween costumes, dark matter and energy conceal their true appearance, yet they shape the universe in unimaginable ways. To learn more about these enigmatic elements, check out our Science 101 video that uncovers how Argonne scientists are investigating the nature of dark matter and dark energy through large cosmological surveys, particle physics experiments, and advanced computing and simulation - https://bit.ly/3UL01u7 Dive deeper into #darkmatter and #darkenergy on our Science 101 webpage - https://bit.ly/3C34odf #DarkMatterDay

Researchers revealed an adaptive response with a ferroelectric device, which responds to light pulses in a way that resembles the plasticity of neural networks. This behavior may have potential applications in developing energy-efficient #supercomputers - https://bit.ly/4eOB2Oc “Today’s supercomputers and data centers demand many megawatts of power. One challenge is to find materials for more energy-efficient microelectronics” said Haidan Wen, Argonne physicist. “A promising candidate is ferroelectric material that can be used for artificial neural networks as a component in energy-efficient microelectronics.” The research team, which includes scientists from Rice University, Penn State University, and Berkeley Lab, leveraged the Nanoprobe (beamline 26-ID) operated by the Center for Nanoscale Materials and the Advanced Photon Source to visualize the nanoscale responses during their experiment.

While modern technologies can turn carbon dioxide (CO₂) into valuable chemicals and fuels, these conversion processes require ample energy and water. To tackle this, Argonne scientists created a new tool that can assess how carbon conversion technologies impact local water resources — and how to mitigate those impacts - https://bit.ly/403OjOw
