A year ago, scientists got their first look at material gathered from nearby asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Now the results of those studies have been revealed, and they shed light on the history of our solar system and the long trek of this cosmic wanderer.

As part of a massive upgrade to the Advanced Photon Source (APS), scientists studying the ​“chemical map” of samples will have better proximity to colleagues, improved research tools and state-of-the-art facilities.

Scientists from two national laboratories used Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source to answer a decades-old question.

Using X-ray techniques, scientists will study tiny specks of asteroid 162173 Ryugu, collected by a Japanese space mission. Learning more about how this asteroid formed will further our understanding of the solar system, including Earth’s formation.

Scientists have created a new ink for 3D printing of durable materials, including prosthetics and space travel devices, from a rare mineral found with the help of Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source.

Physicist Zhao was nominated for his world-leading work in nuclear resonant X-ray scattering research.
