An advanced medical imaging technology from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has been honored with a 2026 R&D 100 Award. The award, presented by R&D Magazine and selected by an independent …
Covering roughly 75% of the sky in visible and near-infrared light, the updated map provides a deep view of the extragalactic universe not blocked by the dust and stars of our own Milky Way. Researchers expect it will remain the most comprehensive 2D map …
Key Takeaways Researchers discovered that an ultrathin version of titanium oxide displays spontaneous electrical alignment known as ferroelectricity. Compared to standard materials used in logic and memory devices, ferroelectric materials can operate at a …
As Director of the Scientific Data Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Ana Kupresanin leads scientists and engineers who develop the methods, software, workflows, and infrastructure needed to make scientific data usable, reliable, and …
Using a technique called magneto-optical spectroscopy under cryogenic conditions, the researchers cooled the device down to a temperature near absolute zero and measured how the electron and hole components responded to small magnetic fields. Electrical …
Key Takeaways Figuring out how to synthesize technologically valuable solid materials can take weeks to years of trial-and-error. A new modeling framework uses accurate thermodynamics and machine learning to precisely and rapidly predict the full sequence …
The three scientists are part of the larger Geophysical Exploration of the Dynamics and Evolution of the Solar System (GEODES) team, a NASA-funded project that uses geophysics methods to investigate the moon, near-Earth asteroids, and the moons of Mars to …
“This is a major win in a larger effort of synthesizing critical materials and battery materials using molten salts,” said Mike Whittaker, a Berkeley Lab scientist who worked on the project. “If you could run this process at low temperatures with really …
Key Takeaways Researchers developed a process that converts kraft lignin, an underused byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, into a valuable chemical used to make several common products. The process, found to be economically relevant, can be applied …
Key Takeaways The Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array successfully completed a first commissioning and characterization run and is ready to begin scientific operations at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. As the world’s most advanced gamma-ray detector, …
In the experiment, researchers used two different methods to pack deuterium, a heavy form of hydrogen atoms that is often used in fusion, into thin foils of palladium and titanium. They then fired a beam of deuterium ions at the foils at different energies …
As the Director of the Applied Mathematics and Computational Research Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Stefan Wild leads teams of computational scientists, computer scientists, and mathematicians in the research and …
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy announced funding for new projects that will harness artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) will lead 13 projects and collaborate as a partner on more than …
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the 2026 cohort of scientists and engineers selected to join Cyclotron Road at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Cyclotron Road is one of four nodes in the DOE Office of Technology …
As the Director of the Scientific Networking Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Executive Director of the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), Inder Monga is an expert in keeping the flow of scientific data running 24/7. ESnet …
To illustrate how EcoBOT couples continuous measurement, adaptive modeling, and experimental redesign, the Berkeley Lab researchers used the system to observe how the model grass Brachypodium distachyon responds to environmental stressors such as nutrient …
Chiral 2D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are among the most promising materials for future technologies that exploit the spin of electrons in spin-based optoelectronics or spintronics, but getting them to perform consistently has proven difficult. Now …
Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside …
Q: What will this first product treat? We focused on urinary tract infections because they’re a common indication for antibiotic use, so introducing an alternative treatment is a great way to immediately reduce antibiotic prescriptions and help slow down …
Imagine a pond’s surface on a completely windless day — no boats, no fish, no disturbances. Even then, if you zoomed in close enough, you wouldn’t find complete stillness — tiny ripples would remain, not because something is stirring the water, but because …
