Today, the Department of Energy is introducing the Genesis Mission.
President Trump is launching this historic national effort to harness the AI computing revolution and double the productivity of American science within a decade. America’s Golden Age of discovery begins now.
R&D 100 Winner: 🇺🇸 A rare-earth-free magnet that gets stronger at high temps?
The MnBi magnet is a U.S.-developed breakthrough that resists demagnetization up to 200°C—perfect for EV motors & industrial use.
We’re excited to welcome @ENERGY’s @SecretaryWright to Ames National Laboratory! His visit highlights how important science is to driving innovation, energy security, and U.S. tech leadership. He’ll tour our facilities, meet our team, and see our impact in action!
Honored to host @ENERGY’s @SecretaryWright at Ames National Lab! We're pushing magnet innovation with domestic materials to power tech & energy. Proud to lead the @CMI_hub!
A Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) at Ames Lab means:
- Peer networking
- Experience at a Department of Energy lab
- and a paid internship! If you're an undergrad, apply in January for a work environment in one of the top materials labs in the world.
The Department of Energy’s National Laboratory System drives American innovation for abundant energy, competitive impact, and national security. Follow the stories of the #DoeNationalLabs
Ames National Laboratory is pleased to announce that Karl Mueller has been named director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory. He will begin his new position effective June 1, 2025. Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Dr. Mueller to the lab!
Today, we remember and honor the legacy of President Jimmy Carter, whose leadership laid the cornerstone for America's energy future.
His foresight led to the creation of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Solar Energy Research Institute (now known as @NREL) in 1977. (1/)
.@ENERGY’s National Labs are the crown jewels of America's scientific advancements.
As Energy Secretary, I’ve visited each of our 17 National Labs. I was proud to join @AmesNatLab to share my gratitude with all of them for leading the way and ushering in new discoveries.
CMI researchers @AmesNatLab were happy to share information about research results, including the award-winning acid-free dissolution process that earned a U.S. patent and is licensed to TdVib in Boone, Iowa.
Today marks 82 years since the world's first man-made, controlled nuclear chain reaction took place - famously known as Chicago Pile 1 or CP-1. This feat signified mankind's ability to control the release of #nuclearenergy. Learn more by checking out @GovNuclear's link below! ⬇️
