The Department of Energy’s 17 National Laboratories tackle the critical scientific challenges of our time and possess unique instruments and facilities, many of which are found nowhere else in the world . They address large scale, complex research and development challenges with a multidisciplinary approach that places an emphasis on translating basic science to innovation .
Ames Laboratory
Ames Laboratory is a world-class institution dedicated to creating materials, inspiring minds to solve problems, and addressing global challenges. For more than 70 years, Ames Laboratory has been a leader in the discovery, synthesis, analysis, and application of new materials, novel chemistries, and transformational analytical tools. The Laboratory conducts fundamental and applied research that helps the world to better understand the nature of the building blocks that make up our universe, and translates that knowledge into new and unique materials, processes, and technologies that advance the nation’s economic competitiveness and enhance national security.
Ames Laboratory’s location on the campus of its contractor, Iowa State University, has instilled a culture of interdisciplinary science and innovation. Invention of lead-free solder, a hybrid catalyst that more efficiently converts crops to biofuel, and caloric materials for improved air conditioning and refrigeration are just a few examples of Ames Laboratory’s materials that are impacting our world.

Argonne National Laboratory
Argonne National Laboratory accelerates science and technology to drive US prosperity and security. The Laboratory conducts research that spans the spectrum from basic science to engineering solutions that change the world for the better.
Argonne’s scientists and engineers are recognized nationally and internationally for leadership in creating new knowledge through pivotal discoveries in chemistry; materials; nuclear and particle physics; and life, climate, and earth system sciences. In addition, Argonne scientists are known for driving advances in computation and analysis to solve the most challenging problems and for shaping the nation’s future through engineering of advanced technological systems.
We build on our discoveries and innovations to improve energy production, storage, and distribution; protect critical infrastructure; and strengthen national security.
ANL also designs, builds and operates scientific user facilities - large national research facilities that would be too expensive for a single company or university to run. These facilities are relied on by thousands of researchers from universities and industry aeronautics to batteries and pharmaceuticals.
