How are the science goals at Argonne related to DOE requirements?
Argonne’s research areas are aligned with DOE’s overarching missions and goals. Argonne’s research endeavors in materials science, mathematics and computer science, and advanced biosciences respond to the DOE mission of “Advancing Basic Sciences for Energy Independence.” Research in fundamental physics and accelerator design respond to the DOE mission of “Exploring Nuclear Matter from Quarks to Stars.” Argonne research endeavors in energy and environmental science and technology are aligned to DOE’s goal of achieving “Energy Security and Safety of the Environment.” And Argonne’s work in national security address the DOE mission of national security and security of the environment.
