Discover the science inside Argonne at our May 20 Open House

March 23, 2023

Calling all science fans! The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is opening its doors to the public for one day only: Saturday, May 20, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Register now for this free event. The Open House will feature a day full of hands-on science and technology exhibits and behind-the-scenes tours of cutting-edge research facilities.

Get up close and personal with Argonne’s diverse scientists, engineers and support staff. Meet with recruiters and find out about jobs at the lab. Learn how many different types of careers work together to change the world.

Visit one or more of our four pavilions. Each will be full of activities to engage you — and your kids — in the questions our researchers work to answer every day, and the science and technology they use to improve lives.

GPT-4 is here: what scientists think

March 21, 2023

Artificial intelligence company OpenAI this week unveiled GPT-4, the latest incarnation of the large language model that powers its popular chat bot ChatGPT. The company says GPT-4 contains big improvements — it has already stunned people with its ability to create human-like text and generate images and computer code from almost any a prompt. Researchers say these abilities have the potential to transform science — but some are frustrated that they cannot yet access the technology, its underlying code or information on how it was trained. That raises concern about the technology’s safety and makes it less useful for research, say scientists.

One upgrade to GPT-4, released on 14 March, is that it can now handle images as well as text. And as a demonstration of its language prowess, Open AI, which is based in

Brothers In Science – Texas A&M Today

March 20, 2023

When the Nguyen brothers opted to become Science Leadership Scholars (SLS) at Texas A&M University, they simultaneously laid claim to a unique distinction: the first-ever sibling pair in the program’s history.

Kyle Nguyen ‘24 and his younger brother Henry Nguyen ’25, who describes himself in his SLS biography as “the little brother of the guy on my right,” grew up together in Sugar Land, Texas. Nowadays, they share their Aggie status, the Texas A&M campus, a biology major, a passion for medicine and an exclusive array of opportunities afforded to them though the SLS Program.

Scientists Identify 100 Important Questions Facing Plant Science

March 19, 2023

Phytology Plant Science Agriculture Concept

An international panel of scientists has identified 100 important questions facing plant science in order to tackle global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity crises, and feeding a growing population sustainably. A new panel was formed in 2022 to re-evaluate research priorities and gathered over 600 questions about plant science from various sources. A team of 20 plant scientists from 15 nations was then assembled to identify the 100 most important questions. The findings are published in a letter in the journal New Phytologist.

An international panel of scientists has identified 100 of the most important questions facing plant science.

What are the key research priorities that will help tackle the global challenges of climate change, the biodiversity crises and feed a growing population in a sustainable way? Ten years after these priorities were first debated and summarised by a panel of scientists and published in New Phytologist,
