# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Argonne OutLoud: Beyond the Reactor
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 18 Jun, 2026 at 07:15 pm
- **Event Description**: For 80 years, Argonne has been at the forefront of scientific discovery and innovation. Nuclear energy has been central to the laboratory’s identity since the beginning — but Argonne’s contributions extend far beyond the nuclear reactor. Today, Argonne is a multidisciplinary engine of innovation, driving advances not only in nuclear science, but also in particle accelerators, computing, and beyond. Our scientists and engineers are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, transforming how we generate energy, explore the building blocks of matter, and harness the power of data to help solve society’s greatest challenges. 

Across the nation, nuclear energy helps power our lives, supplying electricity to 1 in 5 homes. Nuclear science and technology have made their way into hospitals, enabling medical scans and cancer detection, while also playing a major role in national security by supporting the screening of dangerous materials at our borders and beyond—and these are just a few examples. 

During our next #ArgonneOutLoud Public Lecture, we will celebrate Argonne’s 80th Anniversary by exploring how the lab’s legacy of nuclear leadership has advanced modern nuclear energy and grown into a broader mission of shaping the future of energy, technology, and national security. You’ll hear how the recent upgrade of Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS), one of the world’s brightest X-ray light sources, is enabling scientists to study radioactive materials with unprecedented detail, opening new possibilities for next-generation reactors. New capabilities at this facility provide researchers with extraordinary views into material structure and behavior, driving discoveries that will shape the future of energy.

Discover how Argonne’s supercomputers are transforming nuclear research by analyzing complex data, and how our breakthroughs in nuclear fuel recycling are enabling the recovery of critical materials from used reactor fuel. You’ll also hear how advanced sensor technologies developed at Argonne are enhancing national security by safeguarding sensitive nuclear materials.

This is a conversation you don’t want to miss, especially as Argonne continues to commemorate its #Argonne80 anniversary. Join us as we reflect on our historic roots, highlight the lab’s expanding impact, and look ahead to the next era of discovery. 

You can join us in-person or virtually.
