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.

#DidYouKnow: August 24 is National Hydropower Day! 💧 In this #Science101 video, Argonne's Quentin Ploussard and Vladimir Koritarov describe how water is used to generate and store electricity - https://bit.ly/3XdVrGf Argonne has been helping meet the world’s growing demand for #hydropower for over 35 years. Since building and updating hydropower plants can be challenging, Argonne has developed computer models that are now used in over 20 countries to help governments and grid operators plan their power grids, improve water use, and provide cost-benefit estimates of hydropower services. #NationalHydropowerDay

Soft matter, a category of materials including substances like Play-Doh and latex paint, is easily deformed and its properties are highly responsive to outside stimuli. Researchers at Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and Argonne report a groundbreaking advance for better understanding and improving the flow properties of soft matter at the atomic level (nanoscale) - https://bit.ly/3AmgZHD

On August 23, Argonne hosted a special ceremony recognizing city leaders who are making significant strides in EV adoption - https://bit.ly/4dCMWKA As a key partner in the EV Readiness Program, Argonne joins ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus in celebrating 12 communities in northern Illinois that have completed the program. These cities, ranging from large urban centers to suburban communities, are leading the charge toward a more sustainable future. Argonne's role as a national leader in EV research underscores the importance of collaboration in supporting local efforts to prepare for an electric vehicle-driven future.

Diamonds are a quantum sensor’s best friend! 💎 Scientists at Cornell University, Purdue University, and Argonne map atomic vibrations in diamond, linking them with the behavior of the #quantum system embedded within. This finding advances quantum sensors, which will be significantly more precise than today’s detection tools - https://bit.ly/3yFxMVI

Scientists at Argonne have found a new ultrafast electron microscopy technique that captures the nanosecond changes in a material during electrical pulsing. Understanding these changes may lead to more energy-efficient electronics - https://bit.ly/4dxLusy “Thanks to this new technique, we determined these two previously unobserved ways in which electricity can manipulate the state of the charge density waves,” said Daniel Durham, a postdoctoral researcher at Argonne. “And the melting response mimics how neurons are activated in the brain, while the vibrational response could generate neuron-like firing signals in a neural network.”

Today is National Aviation Day! 🌍✈️ As we celebrate the development of aviation, we are excited to share insights from Argonne's director of the Systems Assessment Center – Environmental Assessment Leader Michael Wang on the advancements being made towards sustainable air travel. Argonne researchers have been working to help evaluate technologies like sustainable aviation fuels (SAFS) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector using the R&D GREET model. Did you know? A commercial flight has already operated smoothly on SAFs – proving that a more sustainable aviation sector is not just possible but also practical and efficient! Read more about the experience in Dr. Wang's blog. #NationalAviationDay #SustainableAviation #CarbonReduction #Decarbonization #SustainableFuels #SAFs
With National Aviation Day coming up on August 19, I am excited to celebrate advancements in aviation and discuss the ongoing research at @Argonne National Laboratory on Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and the strides being made toward decarbonizing the aviation sector. Discover how our R&D GREET model is being used to measure and evaluate the life cycle carbon emissions of SAFs in my latest blog. #NationalAviationDay #SustainableAviation #CarbonReduction #Decarbonization #SustainableFuels #SAFs
