Argonne scientists across several disciplines have combined forces to create a new process for testing and predicting the effects of high temperatures on refractory oxides. Cast iron melts at around 1,200 degrees Celsius. Stainless steel melts at around 1,520 degrees Celsius. If you want to shape these materials ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., May 5, 2021-- A massive collaborative research project covered in the journal Nature this week offers projections to the year 2100 of future sea-level rise from all sources of land ice, offering the most complete projections created to date. "This work synthesizes improvements over the last decade in climate models, ice sheet and glacier models, and estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions," said Stephen Price, one of the Los Alamos scientists on the project. "More than 85 researchers from various disciplines, including...

 E-Mail IMAGE: Argonne researchers used supercomputers to optimize the design of piston bowls in heavy-duty engines for Caterpillar Inc. The top designs reduced fuel consumption and soot formation, and others had potential... view more  Credit: (Image by Chao Xu/Argonne National Laboratory.) Argonne is helping Caterpillar improve efficiency and reduce emissions in their heavy-duty diesel engines. Heavy-duty diesel engines still power most large vehicles used in the construction, mining and transportation industries in the United States. Engineers are working to improve the fuel eff...

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

Do they throw it in the trash, toss it to the gutter or recycle it? This isn't a far-fetched scenario. In fact, U.S. consumers purchased nearly 50 billion water bottles in 2018, or about ...

"The Laboratory can be very proud. The number of Argonne researchers who earned this prestigious recognition from DOE, the Secretary's Honor Awards, is more than double that of the previous year," said Argonne Director Paul Kearns. "Congratulations to all the honorees and a special thanks to your research teams for their contributions ...
