At a Glance: Ames Laboratory The State of the DOE National Laboratories: 2020 Edition AT A GLANCE: AMES LABORATORY Ames Laboratory delivers critical-materials solutions to the United States. For more than 73 years, Ames has successfully partnered with Iowa State University of Science and Technology to lead in the discovery, synthesis, analysis, and use of new materials, novel chemistries, and transformational analytical tools. Building upon its core strengths in the science of interfaces, science of synthesis, science of quantum materials, and science of rare earths—plus a proven track record of transitioning basic energy science through early-stage research to licensed technologies and commercialization—Ames leads the nation in translating foundational science for energy and chemical conversion into critical-technology innovation.

Among the instruments is the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR spectrometer endowed with fast magic angle spinning capabilities – the first instrument of its kind in the United States dedicated exclusively to chemical and materials sciences. Conventional and DNP-enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy are used in multiple Ames research projects that develop heterogeneous catalysts, semiconductor nanomaterials, polymer recycling strategies, and address other energy-related challenges. Tech-to-Market Highlight: Recycling Rare Earth Metals from Electronic Waste TdVib, LLC, an Iowa manufacturing company, was awarded a Department of Energy Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant for $200,000 from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) in 2020. The funding supports a goal to demonstrate the feasibility and proof- of-concept for commercially viable and environment-friendly approaches to reclaiming rare earth elements and cobalt from magnets in electronic waste generated in the United States. This Research and Development (R&D) 100 award-winning technology was developed and patented at the Critical MaterialsUnique Facility: Institute; an Energy Innovation Hub led by Ames Laboratory.Megamaterials - Imagine a material with no counterpart in nature that could lead to Research Highlight: iCOUP Plastic waste is developmenteverywhere of in a superlensthe United States, rapidly piling up in our landfillswith and resolution leaching so into powerful and clogging our waterways. The nearly 27 million tons of plastic waste generated annually in the U.S are full of energy and carbon value, which is currently lost. Ames Laboratory is leading the multi- institutional Energy Research Frontier Center, which is developing methods to selectively “chop” long polymer chains into smaller pieces that will transform them into upcycled products—providing new raw materials for the chemical industry to manufacture useful chemicals, such as lubricants, detergents, and fuels. 54 The State of the DOE National Laboratories: 2020 Edition AT A GLANCE: ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY Argonne National Laboratory accelerates science and technology (S&T) to drive U.S. prosperity and security. The laboratory is recognized for seminal discoveries in fundamental science, innovations in energy technologies, leadership in scientific computing and analysis, and excellence in stewardship of national scientific user facilities. Argonne’s basic research drives advances in materials science, chemistry, physics, biology, and environmental science. In applied science and engineering, the laboratory overcomes critical technological challenges in energy and national security. The laboratory’s user facilities propel breakthroughs in fields ranging from supercomputing and AI applications for science, to materials characterization and nuclear physics, and climate science. The laboratory also leads nationwide collaborations spanning the research spectrum from discovery to application, including the Q-NEXT quantum information science center, Joint Center for Energy Storage Research, and ReCell advanced battery recycling center. To take laboratory discoveries to market, Argonne collaborates actively with regional universities and companies and expands the impact of its research through innovative partnerships.

More than 5,000 researchers use the APS annually, making it one of the world’s most productive X-ray light source facilities. It has paved the way for better batteries, numerous new therapeutic drugs, more-efficient vehicles, stronger infrastructure materials, and more powerful electronics. Research at the APS has directly led to two Nobel Prizes and contributed to a third. The APS has also made significant contributions in the fight against COVID-19 by supporting research to both identify the protein structures of the virus and find potential pharmaceutical treatments and/or vaccines. The APS upgrade project now underway will make it up to 500 times brighter and vastly expand available research opportunities. Tech-to-Market Highlight: Argonne Cathode Technology “Game Changer” in Battery Industry The battery that helps power General Motors’ plug-in hybrid Chevy Bolt, the 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year, is based in part on a chemistry breakthrough by Argonne scientists. The researchers used the Advanced Photon Source as part of their toolkit to better understand in real time the reactions that occur inside a battery. The nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) blended cathode structure developed at Argonne offers the longest- lasting energy available in the smallest, lightest package—a 50 to 100 percent increase in energy storage capacity over conventional cathode material.

Giving cancer treatments at TRIUMF The first treatment of cancer patients began at TRIUMF in Nov­ ember using the negative pion beam from the biomedical channel. In this first series, patients with multiple skin tumour nodules are receiving ten daily treatments. In order to assess the effect of negative pions on human tissue, some of the nodules are being treated with pions and others with X-rays. Only when this is known can treatment of larger, deep-seated tumours com­ mence. The treatments at TRIUMF have been preceded by comprehen­ sive pre-clinical investigations in­ cluding both physical and radiobio­ logical studies, the latter including cultured cells, mice and pigs. Conferences on the horizon The Sixth International Conference on Experimental Meson Spectro­ scopy will be held at Brookhaven on 24-25 April.

  • Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration (MEITNER) Overview
    Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration (MEITNER) Overview B. PROGRAM OVERVIEW 1. Summary Nuclear reactor plants are complex systems where many types and scales of technologies must work together seamlessly. Design choices at each of those scales and for each of those technologies impact the rest of the system in terms of functionality, cost, and constructability. For nuclear energy to contribute in the coming decades, the next generation of nuclear reactor plants need to simultaneously achieve “walkaway” safe and secure operation, extremely low construction capital costs, and dramatically shorter construction and commissioning times than currently-available plants. To attain these goals, new, innovative, enabling technologies for existing advanced reactor designs are needed. The development of these enabling technologies requires understanding the inter-relatedness of design choices. Thus, ARPA-E encourages a rethinking of how pieces of the nuclear reactor system fit together when developing these enabling technologies. Through the MEITNER1 (Modeling-Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration) program, ARPA-E seeks to identify and develop innovative technologies to enable the advanced nuclear reactor design community to mature their designs for future commercial deployment. These enabling technologies can establish the basis for a modern, domestic supply chain supporting nuclear technology. As provided in this FOA, ARPA-E will select multiple Awardees (Prime Recipients) to develop

The DOE Joint Genome Institute has sequenced the genome of A. niger ATCC 1015, a wildtype strain and the source of the first patented microbial fermentation process for citric acid production. Preliminary annotation indicates the presence of over 250 glycosyl hydrolases. These enzymes are crucial for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass into simple sugars and other chemical building blocks.
