#6155, aired 2011-05-20CARS OF THE FUTURE PRESENT $400: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.) In theory, an omnivorous engine can run on any fuel combination; this one adds butanol, which would result in fewer fill-ups as it's high in energy density, to the common mix of gas & this alcohol ethanol
#6155, aired 2011-05-20CARS OF THE FUTURE PRESENT $800: (Sarah of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.) The Argonne National Laboratory dynamometer can measure both a car's particulate production & its fuel efficiency--the latter by simulating road stresses & measuring the products of this element in the engine's emissions carbon
#6155, aired 2011-05-20CARS OF THE FUTURE PRESENT $1200: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.) Argonne researchers are working to reduce the size & increase the life span of storage batteries with this element in their name lithium
#6155, aired 2011-05-20CARS OF THE FUTURE PRESENT $1600: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.) The dynamometer is a key part of testing to find a real-world car that gets 100 mpge--miles per gallon energy equivalent--the goal of this automotive prize the X Prize
#6155, aired 2011-05-20CARS OF THE FUTURE PRESENT $2000: (Sarah of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, IL.) Designed to take advantage of available supply, the 3-fuel mix of Argonne's omnivorous engine means the computer has to solve a new problem dozens of times a second, as it figures what mix to use for each firing, also called this event combustion
#6104, aired 2011-03-10ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY $400: (Sarah of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Lab in Chicago.) The Argonne Lab grew out of World War II fission research in nearby Chicago; the first one of these was built by Fermi on a squash court, & today Argonne is continuing that heritage with new, fast types that destroy their own waste a nuclear reactor
#6104, aired 2011-03-10ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY $800: (Sarah of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Lab in Chicago.) Scientists studying the life cycle of stars have used the Argonne National Labs' supercomputer to investigate the nuclear flame bubble that builds up inside a white dwarf just before one of these spectacular events a supernova
#6104, aired 2011-03-10ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY $1200: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Lab in Chicago.) The reactor is doing a green chemistry trick invented at Argonne--it's using plastic bags to create these, cylinders 50,000 times thinner than a hair, to increase the surface area & the power of batteries a nanotube
#6104, aired 2011-03-10ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY $1600: (Jimmy of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Lab in Chicago.) This machine assembles high-efficiency lithium ion batteries, alternately stacking positive electrodes called cathodes together with negative electrodes called these anodes
#6104, aired 2011-03-10ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY $2000: (Sarah of the Clue Crew reports from the Argonne National Lab in Chicago.) The hard X-ray nanoprobe helps in the design of solar cells by allowing subatomic examination of these materials, such as silicon, which act sometimes like metal & sometimes like insulators semiconductors
#1725, aired 1992-02-14COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES $1000: This Midwest school operates the Argonne National Laboratory & the Yerkes Observatory the University of Chicago
