APS Articles in Frontiers 2003
Frontiers was the annual publication of Argonne research highlights. This page contains Frontiers articles focusing on APS-related research.
APS advances frontiers in many fields
The Advanced Photon Source already produces the nation's most brilliant X-ray beams for research, but Argonne scientists and engineers continue to make it even better. more >>
APS control software finds uses far afield
Software designed to control the intricacies of the APS has proven
its flexibility far outside the laboratory. The software package
now manages complex mechanical systems at more than 100 scientific
and industrial sites worldwide, including flight simulators and
microchip fabrication plants. more >>
Antiferromagnetic
images seen in solids
Researchers from Bell Labs, NEC Research Institute and Argonne's Advanced Photon
Source (APS) captured the first image of antiferromagnetism within a solid material.
The technique they used could point the way to new advanced magnetic recording
materials and technologies. more >>
Big
project reveals secrets of tiny materials
A big project studying the characteristics of the very small will provide
insight into new materials with unprecedented properties. These small
systems can be only a few atoms wide and are measured in billionths
of meters, or nanometers. more

Studying
soot may minimize health hazards
Tiny soot particles, created when materials burn, create health problems and
may contribute to thousands of premature deaths each year, according to the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. more >>
