Since buildings consume 75% of electricity in the U.S., they offer great potential for saving energy and reducing the demands on our rapidly changing electric grid. But how much, where, and through which strategies could better management of building …
Credit: Marilyn Sargent/Berkeley Lab The development of an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature could lead to new applications in computing and electronics – such as high-density, compact spintronic memory devices – and new tools for the …
This color-enhanced image, taken by scanning electron microscopy, shows huge quantities of SARS-CoV-2 particles (purple) that have burst out of kidney cells (green), which the virus hijacked for replication. The bulging, spherical cells in the upper-right …
X-ray beams allowed researchers to “see” oxygen gas molecules adhere to a specially prepared electrode surface, an important step in the electrochemical reaction taking place in fuel cells. (Credit: Abel Fernandez/UC Berkeley) Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs …
Detailed X-ray measurements at the Advanced Light Source helped a research team co-led by Berkeley Lab, SLAC, and Stanford University reveal how oxygen seeps out of the billions of nanoparticles that make up lithium-ion battery electrodes. (Credit: …
