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.

Imagine being able to predict climate change's effects or pinpointing the defect in the human brain that causes Parkinson’s — all in a matter of weeks or months instead of years. This is the future of science, and it will be enabled by the powerful combination of Aurora and the upgraded Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne. With the upgraded APS, one of the world's most productive X-ray light source facilities, and Aurora, the world’s fastest AI supercomputer - Argonne is positioned to transform how we do science. Learn how Argonne's "dynamic duo" research tools will work together to accelerate discovery for clean energy, fighting climate change, human health, and new materials for transportation, energy, and electronic devices - https://bit.ly/4dP6ISR
