Newswise — Nuclear reactors across the United States generate used fuel, but more than 95% of that fuel still holds valuable energy potential. By applying advanced chemical processes and new technologies, scientists can recycle this material to generate more power and significantly reduce long-term radioactive waste. Now, researchers are working to turn this potential into…
BYLINE: By Jared Sagoff Though not a full vaccine yet, discovery shows important proof of concept that can neutralize a third of the strains of HIV in the U.S. Newswise — The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is one of the most common and deadly viruses known to mankind. Approximately 40 million people around the world are living…
Newswise — Physicist Kamel Fezzaa of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has received the 2025 Gopal K. Shenoy Excellence in Beamline Science Award. The annual award recognizes active beamline scientists at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne, for significant contributions to research or instrumentation and…
BYLINE: Amber Rose Recent advancements at the ATLAS user facility are enhancing operations and efficiency to help unlock new insights into the universe’s fundamental forces. Newswise — In the quest to solve fundamental mysteries about the universe, nuclear physics stands at the forefront, probing the very building blocks of matter and the forces that govern their interactions….
BYLINE: Lauren Biron Newswise — TESSERACT has developed exquisitely sensitive transition-edge sensors that open up new searches for dark matter and have potential applications in quantum computing. For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, a new, super-sensitive detector, developed by a collaboration of researchers across…
BYLINE: Amber Rose Each year, the AAAS Council awards distinguished scientists for their contributions to science. Scientists Karen Mulfort and Di-Jia Liu of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have been honored as Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). This prestigious recognition is awarded to scientists, engineers and innovators…

BYLINE: Amber Rose Newswise — Argonne researchers use Polybot, an AI-driven automated material laboratory, to produce high-conductivity, low-defect electronic polymer thin films. Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as “electronic polymers” that combines the flexibility of plastic with the functionality of metal. This type of material…
BYLINE: Joseph E. Harmon Scientists are racing to develop new materials for quantum technologies in computing and sensing for ultraprecise measurements. For these future technologies to transition from the laboratory to real-world applications, a much deeper understanding is needed of the behavior near surfaces, especially those at interfaces between materials. Scientists at the U.S. Department…
