Argonne National Laboratory stands at the brink of a major opportunity to help achieve the vision set by President Barack Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu: an economy based on renewable energy, free of dependence on foreign oil and with a greatly reduced carbon footprint. The path to achieving this vision is through a strong linkage between basic research and applied research and engineering — all areas where Argonne excels.
In the coming five years, Argonne will pursue eight major initiatives that support Department of Energy research goals to create innovative and transformational solutions to the nation’s grand scientific challenges. These initiatives have inspirational goals that will keep Argonne at the very forefront of scientific discovery and engineering excellence.
