Fernando Pérez The Project Jupyter team has been honored with an Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Software System Award for developing a tool that has had a lasting influence on computing. Project Jupyter evolved from IPython, an effort pioneered …
Zach Marshall (Credit: Marilyn Chung/Berkeley Lab) Just five years after joining Berkeley Lab as a Physics Division fellow, Zach Marshall is leading an international team of researchers in search of supersymmetry — the theory that every known particle has …

ANIMATION: Energy transfers from a ytterbium atom (blue), which absorbs near-infrared light, to an erbium atom (red). The erbium atom then releases visible, green light. A study led by researchers at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry found a way to enhance …
A view of BELLA, the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator. (Credit: Roy Kaltschmidt/Berkeley Lab) A new study calls for the U.S. to step up its laser R&D efforts to better compete with major overseas efforts to build large, high-power laser systems, and …
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 …
