The experimental facilities of a typical high school physics classroom don’t usually include a synchrotron. Precious few high school science students have ever even seen a particle accelerator.
More than 75 aspiring cyber defenders from across Illinois and Iowa converged Saturday on the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Argonne National Laboratory to take on the challenge of Argonne’s first Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition.
Daniel Wright Middle Schoolers handed coach Sophia Capelli her 5th win in 6 years this month at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE)‘s Argonne National Laboratory 2016 Regional Middle School Science Bowl.®
Argonne National Laboratory’s Educational Programs, in partnership with the Computer Science Education Working Group, recently participated in the Hour of Code initiative December 7-12.
Kids today grow up surrounded by technology, from computers to laptops to smartphones. Despite this exposure, they aren’t always taught how their technology works — how it’s programmed, and how to fix it when it’s broken.
Early this summer, 80 Chicago-area high school students got a glimpse of the importance of energy storage and how battery science is improving our world both today and tomorrow.
More than 350 of some of the Chicago region’s brightest young women will converge on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory on April 16 to explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
Nearly 400 high school girls from the Chicago area will attend the 27th annual Science Careers in Search of Women conference on April 10 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory.
A Kettering University senior received top honors for undergraduate research at the 2012 ASME Internal Combustion Engine Division Fall Technical Conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
On the surface, Fulla Abdul-Jabbar seems like any other young Argonne researcher. She is eager to learn, deftly navigates laboratory spaces and speaks passionately about her work.
Argonne’s Hispanic/Latino Club is the first winner of the laboratory’s annual Women in Science and Technology (WIST) Diversity Award, created to honor the contributions of an individual or team for their commitment to promoting diversity at the laboratory
At humanities festivals, physics and chemistry typically get left off the menu in favor of poetry and philosophy, but not at this year’s Chicago Humanities Festival (CHF).
Lighting represents roughly 40 percent of the energy consumption in the U.S. commercial building sector, but saving energy can be difficult because different workspaces, such as schools, hospitals and office buildings, have different lighting requirements
Though physicists know Maria Goeppert Mayer left her own stamp on history, the U.S. Postal Service recently issued one of its own to commemorate the nuclear physicist.
Last year, American Indian tribal colleges and high schools competed to build the best wind turbine; this year, their challenge was different, but still related to renewable energy—creating biodiesel fuel out of raw biomass.
