Goodbye, Summit! Attendees gathered on the final day of the 2024 OLCF User Meeting to sign a piece of Oak Ridge Lab's Summit #supercomputer. After almost 6 years providing over 200 million node hours to researchers around the world, Summit will be decommissioned in November.
Bioproducts could cut our need for fossil fuels. But it’s hard to extract them from plant lignin, the largest renewable source of a key material. Researchers Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) & UW–Madison have engineered a single bacterium that extracts two key chemicals: energy.gov/science/ber/ar…
“The demand for high-performance, low-cost, and sustainable energy storage devices is on the rise.” - Shirley Meng The University of Chicago. She's leading a new DOE national hub focused on research that will tackle some of the biggest challenges with batteries: pme.uchicago.edu/news/departmen…
#PicOfTheWeek: While plants rely on some microbes for essential services, other microbes threaten their health. Researchers used tools Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) to study the evolutionary back-and-forth between plants' defense systems and the invading microbes: energy.gov/science/articl…
In a low-energy fusion reaction, neutrons and protons flow between nuclei. Research from scientists Fisk University & Vanderbilt University explored the dynamics involved in this flow. It has implications in areas ranging from fusion power to nucleosynthesis: energy.gov/science/np/art…
Our researchers are working with colleagues Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a DOE Office of Science user facility operated by MSU, to develop a first-of-its-kind magnet that promises to improve the facility's performance and extend its capabilities.

When it comes to quantum computing, defects are a good thing—they’re the basis for qubits. Researchers The University of Chicago & MICCoM Center at Argonne National Lab used simulations to understand how atomic defects form in silicon carbide, a key semiconductor material: energy.gov/science/bes/ar…
In an important step for cancer therapy, researchers measured the bonding interactions of radium with oxygen in an organic molecule for the first time. This result from scientists Oak Ridge Lab provides useful info to design future radium-based treatments: energy.gov/science/ip/art…
Describing the newest tools Argonne National Lab requires some seemingly over-the-top language. But words like "massive" and "giant" only give a glimpse into the power of the Aurora supercomputer and the upgraded Advanced Photon Source, as covered by Eyewitness News: abc7ny.com/videoClip/argo…
Soil microbes usually consume volatile organic compounds. During droughts, they release more compounds into the air than they would normally. This finding by scientists University of Arizona, Joint Genome Institute, Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) & partners shows how drought adds to climate change: energy.gov/science/ber/ar…
Usually when we think of seeds, we think of plants. But clouds also grow from "seeds" - particles that cloud droplets form around. As part of her work with ARM News, Coty Jen Carnegie Mellon University studies the precursor gases that evolve into cloud seeds: asr.science.energy.gov/news/program-n…
