Argonne Outloud: Community and Climate: Responding to Our Warming World Argonne National Laboratory 2023-12-06 | Climate change isn’t just about the melting polar ice caps. Historic flooding, record-breaking heat waves and an increase in air quality alerts show that climate change is affecting all of us – in and around our own homes. And as winter approaches, the warmer temperatures will result in additional, adverse effects. Yet, despite its global reach, not everyone experiences climate change in the same way. Disinvested, under-resourced communities, often suffer the worst effects. On November 30, 2023, Argonne OutLoud brought together community leaders, researchers, and lead scientists from CROCUS (Community Research on Climate and Urban Science) to discuss what climate change looks like in Chicago today and what these conditions can tell us about the future. In addition, they explored what work can be done now to bring about better outcomes for communities, the city, the region, and other urban areas around the country and world. 00:00 Associate Laboratory Director Megan Clifford01:43 Argonne Laboratory Director Paul Kearns 05:38 Office of Community Engagement Director Robyn Wheeler Grange 09:12 Video: Climate Change: The Story of Chatham47:16 Q&A with CROCUS partners01:10:53 Video: Faces of CROCUSFind out more about the Argonne Outloud Lecture Series ►►: anl.gov/outloud-public-lecture-series-archivesStill haven't subscribed to Argonne National Laboratory on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/2Vyzwvm Join us on Facebook http://bit.ly/ArgonneFacebook Follow us on Twitter http://bit.ly/ArgonneTwitter We’re on Instagram! http://bit.ly/ArgonneInstagram Connect with us on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/ArgonneLinkedIn ABOUT CROCUSCROCUS is an Urban Integrated Field Laboratory led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory in partnership with academic and community organizations, and civic and industry champions.

Assembling the Grand Tube at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne Argonne National Laboratory 2023-11-17 | Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center where talented scientists and engineers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity. One of the tools helping them to do that is the Advanced Photon Source (APS). In a typical year, the APS hosts around 5,500 scientists from around the world who use the powerful X-rays to see deep inside materials. This research lives on to help build stronger materials for roads and bridges, develop next-generation batteries and solar cells, and fight infectious diseases. With nearly 30 years of operation, the APS is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade. The new APS will generate X-ray beams that are up to 500 times brighter, which will allow scientists to examine even tinier objects at ultra-high resolution. As an example, with electronic devices getting smaller and smaller, the need for sharp images of those devices on smaller scales has become more important. In addition to brighter beams, the upgraded APS will have several new experiment stations (called beamlines) to make use of that ultrabright light. The Grand Tube is a 70-foot-long enclosure built for one of those beamlines. It will enable a new X-ray technique called Coherent Surface Scattering Imaging (CSSI) that will allow scientists to image extremely small materials in three dimensions, on previously unattainable scales. Scientists will use the Grand Tube to create new materials for solar cells and to improve the next generation of micro- and nanoelectronic devices. This video shows the arrival and assembly of the Grand Tube at Argonne National Laboratory. For more information on the APS Upgrade ►► anl.gov/aps-upgrade.

Its discoveries in QIS have the potential to make a positive impact on science and society, and its scientific user facilities enable researchers around the globe to conduct impactful science and technological breakthroughs in this burgeoning area of research.There is a global race to capitalize on quantum technologies, and Argonne is helping keep the U.S. at the forefront. Until recently, there had not been a concerted national effort to advance the quantum economy. Following the 2018 passage of the National Quantum Initiative Act, national government agencies took active steps to accelerate QIS research in the U.S. In 2020, DOE established five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, each led by a DOE national laboratory. With its strong QIS research programs, Argonne was selected to lead one of the centers, Q-NEXT.The mission of Q-NEXT is to develop the science and technology for controlling and distributing quantum information, enabling pivotal discoveries and U.S. competitiveness in quantum science and engineering. The center brings together roughly 100 experts from across industry, academia and the national laboratories. Q-NEXT focuses on research in quantum materials, communication and networking, sensing and simulations. It also led the establishment of two national quantum foundries to create a robust supply chain of materials for quantum devices. These advances could revolutionize how we process and share information, with profound impacts such as the development of perfectly secure communications, novel solutions to highly complex optimization problems in energy, finance and healthcare, more accurate measurements of physical phenomena, better methods of synthesizing new drugs, and far more realistic simulations of the real world.Learn more about Q-NEXT ►► q-next.orgStill haven't subscribed to Argonne National Laboratory on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/2VyzwvmJoin us on Facebook http://bit.ly/ArgonneFacebookFollow us on Twitter http://bit.ly/ArgonneTwitterWe’re on Instagram! http://bit.ly/ArgonneInstagramConnect with us on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/ArgonneLinkedIn ABOUT ARGONNEArgonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology.

However, access to necessary funding for long-term investments can often be the biggest challenge — particularly for communities most in need.This was a key focal point of recent engagements between the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of State and Community Energy Programs (SCEP) and Chicago-based community leaders, small businesses and non-profit organizations. The engagements, convened by DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory, highlighted grants available to communities to invest in cost-effective and productive energy solutions. It was also a chance for SCEP representatives to learn about active community initiatives and how the DOE can increase its partnership in deploying targeted solutions. Three of these community initiatives included the Bronzeville Community Microgrid, The Chicago Urban League Solar Installation and Shala’s Bronzeville Solar Pyramid. Together they demonstrate the community's commitment to becoming energy-independent. “The Bronzeville community is a powerful example of community-led clean energy solutions. These initiatives will result in greater quality of life, workforce development opportunities and long-term community investments..." a reflection from Henry McKoy, DOE'S SCEP Director.By convening members of the community with representatives from the DOE, it will lead to greater understanding as to what challenges remain and how Argonne and DOE can continue to be part of the solution.Still haven't subscribed to Argonne National Laboratory on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/2VyzwvmJoin us on Facebook http://bit.ly/ArgonneFacebookFollow us on Twitter http://bit.ly/ArgonneTwitterWe’re on Instagram! http://bit.ly/ArgonneInstagramConnect with us on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/ArgonneLinkedIn ABOUT ARGONNEArgonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology.

The journey of one module of the new Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory 2023-08-22 | For more than 25 years, the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has been a leader in X-ray science. The Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne, generates bright X-ray beams that help scientists explore stronger materials for roads and bridges, new ways to create energy storage devices, and more effective treatments for diseases. As the challenges of our world get more complex, technology needs to advance to meet those challenges. The APS is undergoing an upgrade that will see the entire electron storage ring at its heart replaced with a state-of-the-art machine. The new storage ring will be made up of 1,321 powerful electromagnets assembled into 200 modules, each weighing more than 20 tons. These modules are assembled in a warehouse a mile outside of Argonne National Laboratory and, one by one, they will be carefully transported to the APS and installed. Building and installing these modules requires the effort of dozens of people from all corners of the laboratory. The result will be a new facility with X-ray beams that are up to 500 times brighter, leading to new avenues of discovery when the APS returns to operation in 2024, and beyond.

A Look Back at 25+ Years at the APS Argonne National Laboratory 2023-04-24 | The APS broke ground in June 1990 and achieved first light in March 1995. And now, over 25 years later, the APS Upgrade has begun in April 2023. After years of planning and preparation, the team behind the APS Upgrade project will now spend the next 12 months removing the old electron storage ring at the heart of the facility, replacing it with a brand new, state-of-the-art storage ring and testing the new ring once it is in place. When it’s complete, the X-ray beams generated by the upgraded APS will be up to 500 times brighter than those of the current facility. These brighter beams will allow scientists to peer more deeply inside materials, track the movements of ions inside batteries and trace the path of energy through extremely small microelectronic chips.Find out more about the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade ►► www.anl.gov/APS-UpgradeStill haven't subscribed to Argonne National Laboratory on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/2Vyzwvm Join us on Facebook http://bit.ly/ArgonneFacebook Follow us on Twitter http://bit.ly/ArgonneTwitter We’re on Instagram! http://bit.ly/ArgonneInstagram Connect with us on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/ArgonneLinkedIn ABOUT ARGONNEArgonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology.

2.3.2023 - DSC - Learning from Nature Argonne National Laboratory 2023-02-20 | In this February 3, 2023 Director's Special Colloquium, Marine Biological Laboratory director and University of Chicago professor Nipam H. Patel presented “Learning from Nature: Bioinspired Nanomaterials via Bioinspired Fabrication.”Evolution has already come up with the solution to many problems — the challenge is to identify the organisms that hold the answers to these questions, and also to develop the tools to understand these solutions in sufficient detail to use them to solve the obstacles we face.A clear example of this comes from bioinspired materials, such as ultra-strong fibers that mimic spider silk, or sticky surfaces that are modeled from the feet of geckos. Another example of bioinspiration has come from the study of the optical properties of butterflies and moths, particularly in the way that they use nanostructures to create color, transparency, and hydrophobicity.In his talk, Patel described an approach to understanding how butterfly scales build such nanostructures, focusing on creating structural blue and green in Buckeye butterflies and transparent wings in a variety of Neotropical butterflies.To find out more about our Director's Special Colloquia playlist on YouTube ►► youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOWlK6maMFywBvQ9-xOdfjE6oAVBZPitDStill haven't subscribed to Argonne National Laboratory on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/2Vyzwvm Join us on Facebookhttp://bit.ly/ArgonneFacebook Follow us on Twitterhttp://bit.ly/ArgonneTwitter We’re on Instagram!http://bit.ly/ArgonneInstagram Connect with us on LinkedIn http://bit.ly/ArgonneLinkedIn ABOUT ARGONNEArgonne National Laboratory seeks solutions to pressing national problems in science and technology.
