Argonne National Laboratory’s upgraded Advanced Photon Source and Aurora exascale supercomputer will transform how we do science. Combined, they will empower our researchers to make groundbreaking discoveries at unprecedented speeds. No other laboratory has a comparable dynamic duo, each boosting the power of the other. These upgraded user facilities will be key to accelerating the discoveries that drive U.S. prosperity and security.
But how do researchers envision the future of science? How will new technology help us answer some of humanity’s most pressing questions?
In this Argonne OutLoud lecture, we’ll take you on a journey from the cosmic scale to the micro scale. You’ll meet researchers who are using some of the most advanced scientific tools ever created to explore everything from the birth of our solar system, to the complexities of the human brain, to next-generation energy that will power our world.
These big, complex problems require the use of the world’s most powerful light source and the world’s fastest supercomputer.
