Transformational science at Argonne: Aurora and the upgraded Advanced Photon Source

The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research laboratory where scientists and engineers make game-changing discoveries and inspire new technologies to meet the nation’s pressing needs. It operates the Advanced Photon Source, which generates ultrabright X-rays to study materials. Argonne is home to the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, or ALCF, which hosts Aurora. Aurora is one of the nation’s first exascale supercomputers, and one of its fastest. Some of the biggest problems facing humanity require bold solutions: damage from climate change, pollution from fossil fuels, the effects of human disease. Imagine solving being able to predict climate change's effects, finding the right materials to significantly extend the range of battery-powered cars, or pinpointing the defect in the human brain that causes Parkinson’s — all in a matter of weeks or months instead of years or decades. This is the future of science, and it will be enabled by the powerful combination of Aurora and the upgraded Advanced Photon Source. Argonne is upgrading the APS to generate X-ray beams that are up to 500 times brighter than those produced from the current machine, allowing scientists to examine materials and processes in greater detail and with greater precision than ever before. Argonne is also installing Aurora, which is capable of performing 2 billion billion calculations per second and can seamlessly integrate the important tools of data analysis, modeling and simulation, and artificial intelligence . No other research laboratory hosts a comparable dynamic duo of technology, each boosting the power of the other. The capabilities of Aurora and the upgraded APS will enable researchers to understand, model, and analyze systems and processes at scales previously inaccessible to science, speeding the pace of discovery and enhancing U.S. security and prosperity. Learn how Argonne's two powerhouse research tools will work together to accelerate discovery for clean energy and decarbonization, fighting climate change, biology and the life sciences, medicine and human health, and new materials for transportation, energy, and electronic devices.
