ARGONNE, Illinois, Aug. 31 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory issued the following news release: * * * Team's algorithm could lead to pivotal discovery of new materials for solar cells. * * * The sun continuously transmits trillions of watts of energy to the Earth. It will be doing so for billions more years. Yet, we have only just begun tapping into that abundant, renewable source of energy at affordable cost. Solar absorbers are a material used to convert this   more

UPTON, New York, Aug. 31 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory issued the following news release on Aug. 31, 2022: The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has been awarded funding from the DOE Office of Science for three proposals submitted in response to a DOE call for projects in Chemical and Materials Sciences to Advance Clean-Energy Technologies and Transform Manufacturing (CEM). $11M in funding over a span of three years will support  more

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (TNSjou) -- The Department of Energy's Office of Science Atmospheric Radiation Measurement facility issued the following news on Aug. 31, 2022: * * * A remote atmospheric observatory in Alaska delivers continuous measurements from a critical locale in the fast-warming, fragile Arctic This is the fourth article in the yearlong "ARM30" series of stories on the evolution of ARM-its data, sites, science missions, field campaigns, and people. * * * Among atmospheric scientist  more

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory issued the following news release on Aug. 31, 2022: The atomic nucleus is a busy place. Its constituent protons and neutrons occasionally collide, and briefly fly apart with high momentum before snapping back together like the two ends of a stretched rubber band. Using a new technique, physicists studying these energetic collisions in light nuclei found something surprising: protons collide wit  more

MENLO PARK, California, Sept. 1 -- The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory issued the following news release on Aug. 31, 2022: * * * En route to record-breaking X-rays, SLAC's Cryogenic team built a helium-refrigeration plant that lowers the LCLS-II accelerator to superconducting temperatures. * * * Today it only takes one and a half hours to make a superconducting particle accelerator at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory colder than outer space.
