LANL: Embed Your Start-up In The ‘Secret City’ - 11:30 am Researchers investigate details of an astronomical simulation in the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment at LANL’s Supercomputing Center. Scientific innovators are invited to embed their companies in the technology and talent of the Laboratory for two years as part of the new NM LEEP program.

Scientists are testing our fundamental understanding of the universe, and theres much more to discover. What do touch screens, radiation therapy and shrink wrap have in common? They were all made possible by particle physics research. Discoveries of how the universe works at the smalle...

In a September 2020 essay in Nature Energy, three scientists posed several "grand challenges" - one of which was to find suitable materials for thermal...

 E-Mail ITHACA, N.Y. - Using light from the Big Bang, an international team led by Cornell University and the U.S. Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has begun to unveil the material which fuels galaxy formation. "There is uncertainty on the formation of stars within galaxies that theoretical models are unable to predict," said lead author Stefania Amodeo, a Cornell postdoctoral researcher in astronomy in the College of Arts and Sciences, who now conducts research at t...

To a certain extent, the Chicago native (who moved to Greece at 10 or 11 to live with an uncles family after the death of his mother) will be returning home four decades after graduating from the U of C with a chemistry degree. Of the trustees who gave him the nod, nearly a dozen were on campus then. Financier Byron Trott and Brady Dougan, who endowed a professorship in molecular engineering, were classmates of Alivisatos. Andrew Alper, former board chair, was a year ahead. Alivisatos specializ...

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne is looking at alternative supply chains for critical materials, says Cynthia Jenks, head of Argonnes circular economy initiative. Mining these materials from our nations urban sources would enhance national security.

Do they throw it in the trash, toss it to the gutter or recycle it? This isnt a far-fetch...

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Artificial intelligence, or AI, requires a huge amount of computing power, and versatile hardware to support that power. But most AI-supportive hardware is built around the same decades-old technology, and still a long way from emulating the neural activity in the human brain. In an effort to solve this problem, a group of scientists from around the country, led by Prof. Shriram Ramanathan of Purdue University, has discovered a way to make the hardware more effic...

"The Laboratory can be very proud. The number of Argonne researchers who earned this prestigious recognition from DOE, the Secretarys Honor Awards, is more than double that of the previous year," said Argonne Director Paul Kearns. "Congrat...

But in fairness I see your point. By Ragtag Media (not verified) on 10 May 2015 #permalink Ah, right. Well known for their scientific accuracy, the Daily Mail. By Wow (not verified) on 10 May 2015 #permalink Article number 87 finally cleared up the shape of the universe for me. Great article got me thinking. We may never know the true shape because of the limitation of light By Tjd (not verified) on 12 May 2015 #permalink The Universe is flat. Check. This means that its density is exactly ...

She received a doctorate in engineering/applied science in 1994, continued at lab as postdoc UC founded the lab in 1952, now runs it in collaboration with Bechtel and nuclear facilities contractors Kim Budil, whose career at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory spans 34 years, starting as a graduate student and progressing to postdoc after she received her Ph.D. in engineering/applied science from UC Davis in 1994, has been named the lab’s 13th director. She is the first woman to hold the p...
