After a decade of planning and a year of removal, installation and commissioning, the upgraded Advanced Photon Source has delivered its first photons to a scientific beamline. This paves the way for the start of a new era of scientific discovery at the upgraded facility.

Jessica Curran, a senior at Westhampton Beach High School created a highly effective seaweed liquid fertilizer from red seaweed samples collected on local shorelines. She earned fourth prize in the plant science category at Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair 2024

Lijuan Ruan is a senior physicist at Brookhaven National Lab who studies the strong force interactions in the quark-gluon plasma created at RHIC.

Phani Ratna Vanamali Marthi, an R&D associate in the Power Systems Resilience group at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been elevated to the grade of senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, Argonne’s annual “Intro to AI-Driven Science on Supercomputers” training series is helping to grow a new generation of AI-ready researchers.

The Jefferson Lab LOVEwork is a testament to the lab’s commitment to partnering with other national labs, reducing its environmental impact by reusing scientific apparatus, and educating future scientists in the science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) disciplines. This is the lab’s first public art and STEAM education installation, and it was first unveiled on June 6 in preparation for Jefferson Lab’s 2024 Open House event. It is also the first and currently only LOVEwork in the commonwealth that embodies the new Virginia is for Science Lovers® theme.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed free data sets to estimate how much energy any building in the contiguous U.S. will use in 2100. These data sets provide planners a way to anticipate future energy needs as the climate changes.
