The United States Wind Turbine Database is unprecedented in its ability to search and sort the U.S. wind turbine fleet. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), in collaboration with public and private partners, has …
In a 2016 study, Berkeley Lab scientists used the bacterium Moorella thermoacetica in a hybrid artificial photosynthesis system for converting sunlight into valuable chemical products. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Several fields of research have sprung up around …
Research appearing today in Nature Communications finds useful new information-handling potential in samples of tin(II) sulfide (SnS), a candidate “valleytronics” transistor material that might one day enable chipmakers to pack more computing power onto …
(Adapted from Imperial College London’s news release) Researchers have measured CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use in California and compared them to reported emissions. This is the first time fossil fuel emissions have been independently checked for such …
The average global energy consumption of transportation fuels is currently several terawatts (1 terawatt = 1012 Joule) per second. A major scientific gap for developing a solar fuels technology that could replace fossil resources with renewable ones is …
In this illustration, the trajectory of cosmic microwave background (CMB) light is bent by structures known as filaments that are invisible to our eyes, creating an effect known as weak lensing captured by the Planck satellite (left), a space observatory. …
Scientists have directly measured the increasing greenhouse effect of methane at the Earth’s surface for the first time. A research team from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) tracked a rise in the warming …
A molecular model of a peptoid nanosheet shows loop structures in sugars (orange) that bind to the Shiga toxin (shown as a five-color bound structure at upper right). (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Researchers have developed a process for creating ultrathin, self- …
Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley researchers developed a model to analyze taxi trips provided by shared automated electric vehicles in Manhattan; blue represents an empty vehicle, green is charging, and red is occupied. It may be only a matter of time before …

Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a way to print 3-D structures composed entirely of liquids. Using a modified 3-D printer, they injected threads of water into silicone oil — …
Stacks of lead bricks (gray) and a copper chamber make up the innermost layers of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR’s multilayered shield. The shielding materials weigh about 57 tons. (Credit: Matthew Kapust/Sanford Underground Research Facility) Note: This press …
This lake in Berkeley, California was one source of the toluene-producing enzyme (phenylacetate decarboxylase) discovered in the JBEI study. (Credit: Chickmarkley) By Christina Procopiou Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy Joint BioEnergy …
Rhizosphere soil for microbial isolations was collected from the Little Buck watershed at the University of California Hopland Research and Extension Center in an area in which Avena barbata are the dominant vegetation. (Credit: Heejung Cho) – By Christina …

California relies on the Sierra Nevada snowpack for a significant portion of its water needs, yet scientists understand very little about how future changes in snowpack volume and timing will influence surface water and groundwater. Now researchers at the …
A computerized simulation of the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe. An overlay graph (in white) shows how a crystal sample intensely scintillates, or glows, when exposed to X-rays during a lab test. This and other properties could …
Recognizing that the issues of water and energy are critically interdependent, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is launching a new research institute to focus resources on its growing portfolio of projects for …
The molecular structure of ice-VII (upper right) is shown with an artistic rendering of the Earth and a cutaway view of the inner Earth (right). Crystallized water, in the form of ice-VII, was found in diamond samples studied at Berkeley Lab. Its presence …
This farm in Arkansas may soon be the most scientifically advanced farm in the world. (Credit: Jay McEntire) There’s a farm in Arkansas growing soybeans, corn, and rice that is aiming to be the most scientifically advanced farm in the world. Soil samples …
