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. ....

Imagine 10 million people, each drinking a bottle of water a day and then deciding on what to do with the container. Do they throw it in the trash, toss it to the gutter or recycle it?
This isn t a far-fetched scenario. In fact, U.S. consumers purchased nearly 50 billion water bottles in 2018, or about 137 million bottles a day, according to one estimate. ....

Six groups that included 17 scientists, engineers and other staff from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory were recipients of the recently announced DOE 2020 Secretary of Energy s Honor Awards.
The Laboratory can be very proud. The number of Argonne researchers who earned this prestigious recognition from DOE, the Secretary s Honor Awards, is more than double that of the previous year, said Argonne Director Paul Kearns.  Congratulations to all the honorees and a special thanks to your research teams for their contributions to this impactful science. These achievements demonstrate the exceptional ways Argonne discoveries benefit the nation and contribute to the worldwide fight against COVID-19. ....
