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.

We had the honor of welcoming Darryl Jones, Chicago native and legendary bassist of the the Rolling Stones, to Argonne! It was a "Start Me Up" kind of day, packed with exciting discoveries and shining a light on our groundbreaking work. After touching on topics from supercomputing to climate resilience research, Darryl left Argonne inspired by the day, and we were equally inspired by his presence. His visit reminded us that with collaboration and dedication, we can overcome any burden and rock the world with our scientific endeavors. We hope this visit sparks curiosity and passion in others to join our mission for scientific excellence and community engagement. Thanks for stopping by, Darryl. #RollingStones #DarrylJones
