A Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) at Ames Lab means:
- Peer networking
- Experience at a Department of Energy lab
- and a paid internship! If you're an undergrad, apply in January for a work environment in one of the top materials labs in the world.

Today marks 82 years since the world's first man-made, controlled nuclear chain reaction took place - famously known as Chicago Pile 1 or CP-1. This feat signified mankind's ability to control the release of #nuclearenergy. Learn more by checking out @GovNuclear's link below! ⬇️
ON THIS DAY in 1942, the world’s first self-sustaining controlled nuclear chain reaction took place at the University of Chicago.
Here are 10 things you didn’t know that you didn’t know about that historic day.
