A Minute With Claire Lee, Particle Physicist
Department of Energy Recognizes Two Decades’ Worth of Argonne’s High-Quality Thermochemical Data
'Neutron Camera' Method Captures Atomic-Scale Activity in a Flash
Answering Big Questions with Thin Oxide Films
Lee works on the communications and operations teams for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment and liaises with CERN and the team at Fermi.
These data are used to develop models of complex chemical environments and to improve models of atomic structures involved in chemical reactions.
The team developed a variable-shutter pair distribution function technique in which neutrons function like a camera but are a trillion times faster.
Thin oxide films help researchers in PNNL’s Energy Sciences Center develop model materials for semiconductors, sensors, and batteries.

As another atmospheric river impacts California on January 4th and 5th -- with more rain forecast after that -- Michael Wehner, a senior scientist in the Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, discusses how climate change is increasing the rainfall from these drenching storms and how people can better prepare. Wehner uses observational data and advanced computer modeling to understand the behavior of extreme weather events in a changing climate, especially heat waves, intense precipitation, drought, and tropical cyclones.
