LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has launched a new effort<\/a> to help American companies develop and scale new products and manufacturing technologies more quickly.<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nCalled the \u201cNational Science-at-Scale Collaborative,\u201d the effort is supported by DOE\u2019s Office of Critical Materials and Energy Innovation (CMEI). The collaborative brings together industry, government and the national laboratories to address complex challenges in critical materials and chemical manufacturing in the United States.<\/p>

\nArgonne will work with industry partners on projects designed to move promising technologies from research to commercial production faster. Researchers will use advanced computer modeling, artificial intelligence, rapid synthesis tools and pilot-scale manufacturing systems at Argonne\u2019s Materials Engineering Research Facility to help companies test and scale new production processes.<\/p>

\n\u201cAmerican manufacturing has an opportunity to lead the next generation of innovation in critical materials and chemical processing,\u201d said Paul Kearns, director of Argonne. \u201cThe National Science-at-Scale Collaborative will help connect discovery, engineering and deployment in ways that strengthen U.S. competitiveness and advance our economic security.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe announcement followed an industry roundtable chaired by CMEI. Leaders from the chemical and critical materials sectors met to discuss manufacturing challenges and opportunities for collaboration.<\/p>

\n\u201cTo compete globally, the U.S. must bring new technologies into domestic production more quickly,\u201d said Assistant Secretary of Energy Audrey Robertson. \u201cThis collaborative will help connect DOE, the national laboratories and private industry to speed up that process.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe collaborative supports CMEI\u2019s broader mission to strengthen America\u2019s critical minerals supply chains and accelerate next-generation energy technologies.<\/p>
