Guys, we have a really cool one for you today. Watch drops of liquid being levitated using sound waves.- The world's 3rd fastest supercomputer is right in Chicago's backyard. Come see what it can do, like this simulation of a supernova using millions of data points.
Visit us at the Energy Showcase this Saturday - register at http://bit.ly/energyshowcase - 5th thing to do at Argonne's free, public Energy Showcase this Saturday: Watch an object being levitated using sound and diamonds. All you gotta do is register! http://bit.ly/energyshowcase

Charles Townes, architect of laser technology, was "warned not to waste resources on an obscure technique." The new Golden Goose award goes to scientists whose initially "silly-sounding" research wound up changing the world. Great op-ed in the Washington Post this morning.- Today marks 8 days til you can get a peek at what goes on at Argonne every day. 8th thing to do when you're here: See an exhibit powered entirely by the sun.

Happy Friday! As promised, here's a look at our newest, coolest (and hottest) facility: the lab's vehicle testing chamber, where we can test how all kinds of vehicles handle both sweltering heat and frigid cold.Argonne National Laboratory shared a link.
A step ahead of Instagram: for the first time, Argonne scientists combine intense X-rays with 3-D maps of a surface to get an incredibly detailed image at the nanoscale.Argonne National Laboratory shared a link.
Great minds think…differently. More diversity in the sciences means more creative problem-solving. With a $2.5 million grant, Argonne is collaborating with Chicago State and IUPUI to support and increase the visibility of underrepresented minorities in STEM.Argonne National Laboratory updated their cover photo.
