Two members of the Photon Sciences staff – Principal Electrical Engineer Michael Fagan and Physicist Sarvjit Shastri – have received recognition from the Argonne Board of Governors for their work.

Each year, Purdue University’s College of Engineering recognizes 38 alumni who are 38 years old or younger for their achievements. This year, one of the 38 by 38 honorees is Mathew Cherukara, a computational scientist at Argonne and leader of the Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence group at the Advanced Photon Source (APS).

Wayman helped design 1,320 storage ring magnets for the Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source upgrade.

DONUT makes it easier to cut through layers of complex data and reach the sweet spot of scientific discovery.

After a competitive search, Argonne National Laboratory has selected Mike Edelen as the Photon Sciences (PSC) deputy associate laboratory director for operations, effective Oct. 1, 2026.

Her role removes administrative and logistical barriers to critical scientific experiments.

A pair of scientists from the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory, have been honored by the Neutron Scattering Society of America. Robert Von Dreele, scientist emeritus, and Brian Toby, senior physicist, have received the 2026 Service Award, given annually by the NSSA Executive Committee.

His elegant solutions are also under review for patents.

A new record for superconductivity without extreme pressure could pave the way for more efficient energy systems and next-generation technologies.

They designed two of the new feature beamlines as part of the APS Upgrade.

Installation of the first set of four new amplifiers is part of a years-long effort to modernize accelerator operations and support more stable X-ray beam delivery.

He has equipped upgraded spectroscopy beamlines to watch materials transform under real conditions.

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.
