Berkeley Lab researchers have developed a way to produce high-repetition-rate XUV light for obtaining rapid, sharp images of a material’s electronic structure. If you want to understand how novel phases emerge in correlated materials, including high- …
Event display of one of the collimator “splash” event seen by the ATLAS experiment in LHC Run-2 , on Tuesday April the 7th : event 22425, run 260466. The collimator position is 140m in front of the ATLAS interaction point. The spray of particles enters …
Jessica Su, a UC Berkeley student who worked at the Molecular Foundry with Ron Zuckermann, next to Overture, a robot that assembles dozens of custom peptoids at a time. There’s an urgent demand for new antimicrobial compounds that are effective against …
Explaining scientific research so that the public can understand and appreciate its value is what science writers do and no one ever did it better than Judith (Judy) Goldhaber who wrote more than a thousand articles about Berkeley Lab research during her …
With two off-the-shelf digital cameras situated about 1 kilometer apart facing Miami’s Biscayne Bay, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists David Romps and Rusen Oktem are collecting three-dimensional data on cloud behavior that have never been …
Berkeley, CA, May 26, 2015—Mother Nature makes it happen so effortlessly and efficiently—turning sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into the building blocks for fuel for plants, that is. Now, researchers have a new home to replicate Mother Nature’s …
Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source is an electron accelerator/storage ring that serves as a premier source of X-ray beams for scientific research ranging from advanced materials to protein crystallography and 3D biological imaging. (Photo by Roy …
Four of the nine scientists named by U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz as recipients of the 2015 Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award, the Department of Energy (DOE)’s highest scientific honor, are affiliated with Berkeley Lab. Three hold senior scientist …
Simulation of the expanding debris from a supernova explosion (shown in red) running over and shredding a nearby star (shown in blue). Image credit: Daniel Kasen, Berkeley Lab/ UC Berkeley Type Ia supernovae are famous for their consistency. Ironically, …
As exposure to gamma radiation transforms Bruce Banner into the Hulk, exposure to alpha-particle radiation can transform thermoelectric materials into far more powerful versions of themselves. (The Hulk, Universal Pictures, 2003, was filmed in part at …
A novel X-ray scattering concept by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (Berkeley Lab) Advanced Light Source (ALS) is receiving support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in the amount of $2.4M. The grant was announced last month …
CLAIRE image of Al nanostructures with an inset that shows a cluster of six Al nanostructures. Soft matter encompasses a broad swath of materials, including liquids, polymers, gels, foam and – most importantly – biomolecules. At the heart of soft materials …
The Bear Creek watershed in Oak Ridge, TN, was a crucial site for the early development of nuclear weapons under the Manhattan Project and harbors spectacular geochemical gradients. First there were canaries in coal mines, now there are microbes at nuclear …
Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has awarded Berkeley Lab’s Bill Collins and the software team that developed OSCARS, led by Bill Johnston, with DOE Secretarial Honor Awards, which are the department’s highest form of non-monetary employee recognition. Bill …
In the sixth year of the Early Career Research Program managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, two researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were on the list of 44 recipients announced today. The two winners …
Composite image of an energetic star explosion taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in March of 1997. Credit: NASA DNA is synonymous with life, but where did it originate? One way to answer this question is to try to recreate the conditions that formed DNA’ …
In this near-field infrared nanoscopy image of bilayer graphene obtained at the Advanced Light Source, domain walls are revealed by bright lines that arise because of the walls’ electronic structures and IR responses. To the list of potential applications …
Two-dimensional map of the sky that will identify the galaxies that will be the targets for our spectroscopic measurements once DESI is built. Source: http://legacysurvey.org/viewer For the past several years, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s …
What does it cost to save electricity? Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have conducted the most comprehensive study yet of the full cost of saving electricity by U.S. utility efficiency programs and now have an answer: 4. …
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Energy today announced $75 million in funding to renew the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP), a DOE Energy Innovation Hub originally established in 2010 with the goal of harnessing solar energy for the …
