To this end, there are two new centers Argonne has just opened—one focused on energy storage
Given that you are new to Argonne, what do you view as a ‘hidden’ strength of the lab? A: The ability to be a one-stop-shop solutions provider for the organizations we work with. For example, if you are a company that has a tough R&D challenge that requires work in materials science, computer modeling, and nanoscience, rather than work with three different partners on the individual pieces, you can call on Argonne to assemble a cross-functional team of people here at the lab to tackle that problem in a coordinated and efficient way, using tools and facilities that are cutting-edge and in some cases truly one-of-a-kind. A good analogy would be if you want to build a house, rather than hiring a plumber, a carpenter, a concrete crew, and so on, all separately, it’s more efficient and easier for you to hire a general contractor to assemble the team and ensure everyone is working together. Argonne acts as that general contractor for our partners, making their lives easier and delivering superior results.
To this end, there are two new centers Argonne has just opened—one focused on energy storage and the other on nanotechnology—that take this idea and build upon it
Commercialization (TDC) division? A: Whereas the mission of the Lab is to address vital national challenges in clean energy, environment, technology and national security, TDC exists to assist the researchers in executing their work and in delivering the solutions they develop to real-world use. We work with large companies, small to medium enterprises, and start-ups, as well as with other organizational entities in this ecosystem, to facilitate the development, transfer, and use of Argonne technology for public benefit.
