New technologies that could revolutionize the way we live and work will be on display at a competition this month featuring scientists from Argonne National Laboratory.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Lab Accelerator pitch event offers the public a look at potentially groundbreaking technologies being developed by Argonne scientists, such as a reusable sponge that can absorb coastal oil spills and a system that uses sound waves to locate air leaks in buildings.
