Joint research to help U.S. steel industry

ARGONNE, Ill. (April 11, 2003) — Argonne National Laboratory has joined a $1.29 million project that will make U.S. steel companies more competitive and maximize furnace life. The U.S. steel industry produces more than 100 million tons of steel annually. Blast furnaces that convert iron into molten iron are crucial components of steel companies, many of which are located in northwest Indiana. Because of aging technology, Indiana's steel industry is losing its competitive edge. More...

Argonne researchers create powerful stem cells from blood

ARGONNE, Ill. (Feb. 24, 2003) — The particularly powerful — and very scarce — flexible forms of stem cells needed for medical research and treatment may now be both plentiful and simple to produce, with a new technology developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory — and the source is as close as your own bloodstream. The finding may eventually offer researchers a practical alternative to the use of embryonic stem cells for research, drug discovery, and transplantation. More...
