C55-22c-270318More stringent challenges, as required by future high energy physics experiments, require higher radiation tolerance and higher granularity to the silicon detectors. Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibits excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10 µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D det ...

BioSynthetic Machines, Inc. (BSMI) is a Chicago, IL-based startup company launched in late 2021 with a goal to revolutionize design and engineering of the microorganisms for production of chemicals. We utilize the innovative machine learning (ML) and experimental methods of synthetic biology developed by the founders at Argonne National Laboratory and exclusively licensed to the company. Our proof ...

Photoinjectors need very high voltage power supplies. There is a need for very high voltage power supplies that can be used for high voltage DC electron guns for accelerator applications. In particular, there are needs for developing a family of high average current and high voltage reliable and stable power supplies for electron beam sources and photoinjectors InnoSys proposes to perform fundamen ...

Sparse data is common in many scientific disciplines. Examples include large-scale simulations of physical phenomena, High Energy Physics experiments, machine learning applications, and many more. Acquired data is stored in a scientific data format that became a de facto standard for data management in government, academia and industry. As the amount of data in the scientific format continues to g ...

In the next 5-10 years, the planned upgrades to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) nuclear scattering facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will require kilometers of new neutron supermirror beam guides, mirrors, and filters. At the same time, an even larger amount of neutron optics will be required to build the new European Spallation Source ...

Tire tread wear is the leading cause of pollution from cars - over 1000x larger than engine exhaust. Tires on electric cars wear out 20% faster on average because of increased torque and weight, so the impact of tire pollution will grow in significance as electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity. Simulation tools used for other aspects of tire and automotive design cannot accurately predic ...

C55-04b-270703The photonic approach to quantum information processing and networking is promising – it is expected that the quantum internet will be substantially built on optical fiber networks, where qubits can be exchanged over long distances via photons with wavelengths in the telecom range. The field of quantum photonics is continually developing and devices are being fabricated on scalable ...

C55-11c-270712Detector integrated circuits in modern neutron imaging systems output copious amounts data at high throughput – data are output too fast to efficiently store or interpret using standard processing and data acquisition systems. As larger detector arrays are fabricated, corresponding data throughput and required storage depths become untenable. To address this issue, a real-time acqu ...

C55-05a-270716Deep decarbonization is urgently needed across the board to solve the climate crisis. While carbon emissions associated with electricity production have reduced significantly over the past decade due to a precipitous decline in solar, wind, and battery costs, several sectors including chemicals and industrial transportation remain hard- to-abate. Specifically, by shifting chemical an ...

The emergence of multiteraflop machines with thousands of processors for scientific computing combined with advanced sensory-based experimentation has heralded an explosive growth of structured and unstructured data in science and engineering fields. Such scientific endeavors require powerful visualization workflows as a fundamental step to understanding and interpreting big data. An ideal data vi ...
