Quantum physics and plant biology seem like two branches of science that could not be more different, but surprisingly they may in fact be intimately tied. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame used ultrafast spectroscopy to see what happens at the subatomic level during the very first stage of photosynthesis.

Argonne National Laboratory announced major new efforts with Northwestern University and the University of Chicago to advance the research and development of new materials to help solve the nation’s challenges in the fields of energy, health, and security.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have identified new targets for drugs that could potentially treat anthrax, the deadly infection caused by Bacillus anthracis. The team found a new way to block the bacteria's ability to capture iron, which is vital to its survival and its disease-causing properties.

Spiders weave a web even more tangled than originally thought—at least on the nanoscale level, according to a new study performed at Argonne National Laboratory. Using high-energy X-rays provided by the Advanced Photon Source, scientists peered into the structure of orb spiders' dragline silk—the chief thread that allows them to dangle precipitously off branches and window frames.

Our
solar system is four and a half billion years old, but its formation may
have
occurred over a shorter period of time than we previously thought, says
an
international team of researchers from the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem and
universities and laboratories in the U.S. and Japan.

Researchers
at Northwestern University's Department of Radiation Oncology and
Argonne National Laboratory recently deployed a new non-destructive
X-ray microscopy solution from Xradia to image cryogenically preserved
cells and advance studies of intra-cellular biology.

Many
simulations and experiments already generate petabytes of data—a single
petabyte is 2,000 times more data than you can fit on a typical
laptop—and they will soon be generating exabytes. The Department of
Energy’s newly established Scalable Data Management, Analysis, and
Visualization (SDAV) Institute is intended to help scientists deal with
the deluge of data.

The early days of our solar system might look quite different than previously thought, according to research at Argonne National Laboratory. The study used more sensitive instruments to find a different half-life for samarium, one of the isotopes used to chart the evolution of the solar system.

Just as water, ice, and steam are all phases of the same material that are influenced by temperature and pressure, new research from Argonne National Laboratory shows how transitions of state work in very simple lattices primarily composed of copper.

New
chemistry has been developed to integrate lead chalcogenide nanocrystals
into
continuous inorganic matrices of chalcogenide glasses. Inorganic
capping,
rather than conventional organic capping ligands, allows simple and
low-temperature encapsulation of these nanocrystals into solution-cast
infrared-transparent amorphous As2S3 chalcogenide
matrices.
