Argonne National Laboratory Celebrates Aurora Exascale Computer

Intel, HPE and DOE leaders and researchers gather to celebrate the collaboration, which is already revolutionizing how scientists use artificial intelligence and simulations.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week to celebrate the Aurora exascale computer, marking a major milestone for AI-powered science. The July 16, 2025, event brought together leaders and researchers from Intel, HPE and the DOE to recognize the collaborative effort behind Aurora and its potential to transform scientific discovery.

From mapping the brain to advancing aircraft design, Aurora is already revolutionizing how scientists use AI and simulations to tackle some of the most complex challenges in science and engineering.
