A DOE lab, we deliver science and tech solutions to energy, climate change, environmental, and nat. security challenges.
About us
Argonne National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratories for science and engineering research, employs 3,400 employees, including 1,400 scientists and engineers, three-quarters of whom hold doctoral degrees. Argonne's annual operating budget of around $1 billion supports upwards of 200 research projects. Since 1990, Argonne has worked with more than 600 companies and numerous federal agencies and other organizations. Argonne's mission is to apply a unique mix of world-class science, engineering and user facilities to deliver innovative research and technologies. We create new knowledge that addresses the most important scientific and societal needs of our nation. We actively seek opportunities to work with industry to transfer our technologies to the marketplace through licensing, joint research and many other collaborative relationships. Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC, for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. We are located on 1,500 acres (6.9 sq. km) in southwest DuPage County, Illinois 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Chicago. The site is completely encircled by the beautiful Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve.

Thank you, #AGU24! Our team had a great time meeting new colleagues, seeing long-time collaborators and sharing our science at the American Geophysical Union conference in Washington, D.C. Thanks to everyone who attended our sessions and stopped by Argonne’s booth to learn about everything from summer internships to careers to facility tours. Thanks also to our friends from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for organizing the DOE neighborhood at the AGU Exhibit Hall. We were especially excited to receive a visit from Geri Richmond, Under Secretary for Science and Innovation, and Dorothy Koch, Associate Director of Science for Biological and Environmental Research. We look forward to another earth-shattering year of geophysical science.
