Argonne scientists across several disciplines have combined forces to create a new process for testing and predicting the effects of high temperatures on refractory oxides.
Cast iron melts at around 1,200 degrees Celsius. Stainless steel melts at around 1,520 degrees Celsius. If you want to shape these materials into everyday objects, like the skillet in your kitchen or the surgical tools used by doctors, it stands to reason that you would need to create furnaces and molds out of something that can withstand even these extreme temperatures.

With a powerful enough light, you can see things that people once thought would be impossible. Large-scale light source facilities generate that powerful light, and scientists use it to create more durable materials, build more efficient batteries and computers, and learn more about the natural world.
When it comes to building these massive facilities, space is money. If you can get higher-energy beams of light out of smaller devices, you can save millions on construction costs. Add to that the chance to significantly improve the capabilities of existing light sources, and you have the motivation behind a project that has brought scientists at three U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories together.

HPCwire magazine recognizes two Argonne teams for outstanding achievement in their use of high performance computing.
Two teams of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have won HPCwire Awards, recognizing their innovative use of high performance computing (HPC) to optimize engine design. The awards were presented by HPCwire magazine.
The Readers Choice Award for Best Use of HPC in Energy went to a group of Argonne scientists who used the laboratory s Theta supercomputer to run the largest-ever combustion engine flow simulation. The Readers Choice Award for Best Use of HPC in Industry went to an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Argonne, Aramco Research Center-Detroit and Convergent Science, who used Argonne s supercomputers to resolve
