David Streets, a senior scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, has studied Beijing's air pollution.
Argonne, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's largest research centers, was America's first national laboratory, chartered in 1946.
She is a scientist at the Argonne National Lab and a fellow of the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago.
"Federal labs such as Argonne and Los Alamos do great science but have been less successful at developing commercial projects, "says Paul Horn, IBM's research chief.
Unless you're DOE biologist Peter Larsen at the Argonne National Laboratory, who would probably argue your legal tender has been double-headed all along.

Among the first cemeteries was Meuse-Argonne in France, containing more than 14, 000 American military dead, the largest number interred in a single place in Europe.
So I chose Argonne National Lab because right now, few areas hold more promise for creating good jobs and growing our economy than how we use American energy.
So here at Argonne, and other labs around the country, scientists are working on getting us where we need to get 10 years from now, 20 years from now.
To address these questions, a distributed testbed infrastructure was deployed at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) and the National Energy Research Scientifi c Computing Center (NERSC).

Eddie Grant, a former infielder for the New York Giants and three other teams, was killed in action in the Argonne Forest in France, a month before the 1918 armistice.
Argonne researchers are working on one possible solution to this problem: batteries that can store wind power for use when the wind stops blowing as well as store solar energy for use at night.
FORBES: Wind Power May Not Reduce Carbon Emissions As Expected: Argonne
And a few years ago, all of this hard work paid off, and scientists here at Argonne helped create a lithium ion battery that costs less, lasts longer than any that had come before.
Adding wind power to the existing electric grid may not have the effect of reducing carbon emissions as much as expected, according to a new study published by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory.
FORBES: Wind Power May Not Reduce Carbon Emissions As Expected: Argonne
Co-author Dr Benjamin Blaiszik, now at Argonne National Laboratory, explained that the self-healing circuitry could find uses in a military setting where it would be exposed to extreme stresses or in long-term space applications.
Today, thanks in part to discoveries made right here at Argonne, some of the most high-tech, fuel-efficient, pretty spiffy cars in the world are once again designed, engineered and built here in the United States.
Smarr is forging fiber links among computers at Urbana-Champaign, San Diego, CalTech and Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois to form a "TeraGrid, " capable of performing 13.5 trillion operations per second, as powerful as 13, 000 desktop computers.
Everybody was standing and I thought Argonne -- one of the effects of the sequester, you had to -- (laughter) -- get rid of chairs. (Applause.) That's good, I'm glad we've got some chairs.
But the machine best suited for doing this work, the proposed rare-isotope accelerator that could be built either at Michigan State University or at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, has been delayed by lack of funds.
We were surprised to learn that a biologist at the Argonne National Laboratory is transforming the data found in blue-green algae into music, while researchers at Michigan State discovered that super-strong bacteria can produce nuggets of gold.
Alexei Abrikosov, who now works at the Argonne National Laboratory, in Illinois, and Vitaly Ginzburg of the Lebedev Physical Institute, in Moscow, were responsible for discovering how type-II superconductors work (it is all down to the behaviour of their electrons).
Their lives ended in places called Belleau Wood, The Argonne, Omaha Beach, Salerno and halfway around the world on Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Pork Chop Hill, the Chosin Reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called Vietnam.
Nuclear engineers have long known of increased risks from high burn-up fuels, but scientists at Argonne have been sounding the alarm about storage dangers in recent years after their research ( pdf) showed high burn-up fuels may result in fuel rods becoming more brittle over time.
