Guzelturk uses synchronized lasers and X‑rays to trigger and probe phase changes in quantum and functional materials

A collaborative effort reveals previously unknown information about how tiny building blocks come together.

On Thursday, May 7, the APS will conduct scheduled systems maintenance. Some applications and services will be temporarily unavailable during this maintenance period. Maintenance could possibly extend into Friday, May 8, if needed. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

The physicist specializes in resonant inelastic X‑ray scattering

This breakthrough opens new pathways for cooling electronics, AI and quantum hardware.

The award recognizes beamline scientists for significant contributions to research or instrumentation at the Advanced Photon Source.

The award spotlights important scientific or technical accomplishments made at (or beneficial to) the APS.

She helps scientists understand atomic‑scale heterogeneity in functional devices.

Scientists discovered how tiny changes in superhydride structure enable superconductivity at near room temperatures but extreme pressure — offering clues for designing more practical superconductors.

Synergistic Neutron and Photon Science – Intelligence rapid-data platform aims to turn U.S. labs into self-driving engines of discovery.

Crystallographer Brian Toby of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has been elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is expanding its social media reach. The facility can now be found on Bluesky.

After a competitive search, Jonathan Lang has been selected to be Argonne’s Photon Sciences (PSC) directorate’s deputy associate laboratory director (DALD) for science and technology, effective March 23, 2026.

The software engineer creates data pipelines for experiments at the Advanced Photon Source.

Argonne team’s AI-driven method takes over the manual parts of advanced X-ray spectroscopy, reducing human error and boosting experimental speed.

Brighter and more coherent X-ray beams enable Ryan and his colleagues to shape the future of quantum science.

A new U.S. Department of Energy grant funds continued research into a new type of accelerator for multiple XFEL experiments at once.

The new Advanced Photon Source storage ring is complete and the facility’s beamlines are in the process of returning to scientific operation. Every APS beamline will undergo operational, technical and scientific commissioning before restarting its general user program. Initial operations will be at a reduced current and availability as the machine is tuned up.

The U.S. Department of Energy has granted its final approval to the project, bringing the decade-plus-long effort to a close.

The Polaris, Frontier and Perlmutter supercomputers are joining forces with Argonne’s upgraded X-ray source to transform how experiments are run.
