Energy Systems Research Areas

These high-performance pumps seals are coated with the Argonne-developed ultrananocrystalline diamond coating (UNCD). The Lab worked with Advanced Diamond Technologies, Inc., to bring this product to market.

Argonne's Energy Systems Division conducts applied research to develop sustainable technologies to:

• Improve the efficiency of resource and energy use
• Minimize our dependence on imported energy
• Enhance our national security

The research is broken down into the following areas:

• Center for Transportation Research
  
• Transportation Research and Analysis Computing Center (TRACC)
  
• Distributed Energy Systems/ARES
  
• Process Technology Research
  
• Ceramic Membranes and Materials
  
• Biodetection Systems
  
• Atomic Layer Deposition
