Science Serving the Nation
About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science is the lead federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for energy and the Nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences. The Office of Science portfolio has two principal thrusts: direct support of scientific research and direct support of the development, construction, and operation of unique, open-access scientific user facilities. These activities have wide-reaching impact. The Office of Science supports research in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, at DOE laboratories and more than 300 universities and institutions of higher learning nationwide. The Office of Science User Facilities provide the Nation’s researchers with state-of-the-art capabilities that are unmatched anywhere in the world.

Welcome to Christopher C. Landers, our new director of the Office of Isotope R&D and Production! Before coming to the Office of Science, he was in the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). We also thank and recognize Jehanne Gillo, our former director of the Isotope program. We wish her well in her future retirement.

Exciting work!
Ames Lab scientist Ikenna Nlebedim is leading a research team that pioneered a new way to recycle lithium ion batteries. “Each of these processes has their advantages and disadvantages,” said Nlebedim. “So, we try to create something that integrates the advantages and leaves out the disadvantages.” This means leaving out parts of the process that involve harsh chemicals and high heat for recycling a material that is integral to our everyday life. Read the link to learn more about this new technology: https://lnkd.in/gMih2s3i
New lithium-ion battery recycling method is earth-friendly and more economical

A microwave oven takes up less space than a regular oven. The same type of power - microwaves - may be useful for building a smaller fusion device as well. Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are exploring how to use microwaves to heat plasma, as covered in MSN: https://lnkd.in/eG5mw3gP
Microwave heating could be key to smaller, more efficient tokamaks
