Argonne s Advanced Photon Source guided the development of new COVID-19 vaccine now in trials

Argonne s Advanced Photon Source guided the development of new COVID-19 vaccine now in trials Human clinical trials have begun on a new vaccine candidate that may protect against not only SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, but against at least two of the variants emerging around the world. The development of this new vaccine was guided by structural information on the virus obtained at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE s Argonne National Laboratory, and other light sources. Trials are taking place at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), part of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, following up on early tests that showed promising results.

Mapping Performance Variations to See How Lithium-Metal Batteries Fail

share: Mapping Performance Variations to See How Lithium-Metal Batteries Fail Using high-energy x-rays, scientists probed different points across a high-energy-density lithium-metal battery of interest for long-range electric vehicles and used the data to identify the main failure mechanism April 19, 2021 Brookhaven Lab chemist and Stony Brook University (SBU) professor Peter Khalifah (middle) with SBU graduate students Zhuo Li (left) and Gerard Mattei (right) holding a pouch cell battery attached to a frame used for synchrotron x-ray studies.

UPTON, NY Scientists have identified the primary cause of failure in a state-of-the-art lithium-metal battery, of interest for long-range electric vehicles. Using high-energy x-rays, they followed the cycling-induced changes at thousands of different points across the battery and mapped the variations in performance. At each point, they used the x-ray data
