Researchers from the ATLAS collaboration, including Berkeley Lab’s Josh McFayden, explain their new measurement of “lepton flavour universality” – a unique property of the Standard Model of particle physics. (Credit: CERN) In particle physics, it’s the …
X-ray experiments at Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source helped scientists to establish that the parent planetesimal of rare meteorites, like the one shown here, had a molten core, a solid crust, and a magnetic field similar in strength to the Earth’s …
Researchers at Berkeley Lab and Carnegie Mellon University have designed new solid electrolytes that light the path to wider electrification of transportation. (Image courtesy of Jinsoo Kim) In the pursuit of a rechargeable battery that can power electric …
This video shows how a sequence of carefully designed springs works to counteract the magnetic forces in powerful magnetic devices known as hard X-ray undulator segments. The spring force must exactly match the manetic force in these segments to keep them …

Even an underground experiment 4,600 feet below a mountain in Central Italy, and a telescope instrument more than a mile high atop an Arizona mountaintop could not escape the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the virus spread around the world, many …
Researchers from Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley grew a new type of ferroelectric – doped hafnium oxide, 1.8 nanometers thick – onto silicon. Not only did the ultrathin material demonstrate ferroelectricity, but the effect was actually stronger than the …
Science Snapshots By Kiran Julin • July 1, 2020 Berkeley Lab’s “thin triple” high-performance window can save on heating and cooling costs compared to typical double-pane windows. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Buildings account for a whopping 40% of total U.S. …
Change in the architecture of the bacterial chromosome during the adaptation to an acidic environment is controlled by the DNA binding protein called HU and its interaction with DNA. (Credit: Michal Hammel/Berkeley Lab) When bacteria are put in different …
