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.

To prepare for future observations from two state-of-the-art telescopes, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration joined forces to use the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) Theta supercomputer to create nearly 4 million simulated images that depict the cosmos as NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the NSF-DOE Rubin Observatory will see it - https://bit.ly/3zYff7v "Using Argonne's now-retired Theta machine, we accomplished in about nine days what would have taken around 300 years on your laptop," said Argonne's Katrin Heitmann. "The results will shape Roman and Rubin's future attempts to illuminate dark matter and dark energy while offering other scientists a preview of the types of things they'll be able to explore using data from the telescopes."

Alison Turner’s curiosity about people and what motivates them has fueled her fascination with patterns and statistics. Now, as the senior economic development researcher at Argonne, her spirit of inquiry helps her create economic models with a mission - https://bit.ly/4bUxxDG “Economic research blends the beauty of math, pattern recognition, and computation with the ability to talk to people, to hear about the things people love and the challenges they face,” said Turner. “It’s the best of both worlds.”

Response to wildfire, flood, hurricanes and other disasters necessitates getting the right hands on the most effective information quickly. Turns out, AI and natural language processing tools can help - https://bit.ly/4fcExi6 A new article from Argonne researchers shows that a tool called CIACC can help federal agencies rapidly sift through and prioritize volumes of scientific articles related to climate hazards and critical societal functions. This helps them make fast, accurate decisions that communities need to recover and develop more resilience. #MachineLearning #NLP #ClimateChange #DisasterManagement

We appreciated this morning’s visit from Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, who stopped by to learn more about our partnership with Great Lakes ReNEW and tour our Materials Engineering Research Facility (MERF). The MERF is an integral part of Argonne's Materials Manufacturing Innovation Center and bridges the gap between small-scale laboratory research and high-volume manufacturing. Great Lakes ReNEW will leverage the MERF for scale-up manufacturing of water materials and devices needed for testbed evaluation. The MERF is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and employs engineers and staff with extensive industrial experience. Argonne is proud to contribute our expertise in water research and development, technology commercialization and workforce development to boost economic growth for residents across the Great Lakes.
