“I’m not aware of anybody who’s ever done physical modeling of microelectronic circuits at full Perlmutter system scale. We were using nearly 7,000 GPUs,” said Nonaka. “We discretized the chip into 11 billion grid cells. We were able to run over a million …
“QubiC is one of the first open-source platforms to tightly integrate quantum hardware control, hybrid quantum-classical workflows, and high-performance computing in a modular, extensible way,” said Gang Huang, a staff scientist in Berkeley Lab’s ATAP …
Note: This press release has been adapted from an original release by Brookhaven National Laboratory. Members of the STAR collaboration, a group of physicists collecting and analyzing data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider ( …
The breakthrough moment came when first author Lilian Vogl, who was then a postdoctoral researcher in Minor’s lab, was studying a sample of germanium containing a small amount of tin and silicon using a powerful type of electron microscopy recently …
Humans have been making metal alloys for thousands of years, and most of us can conjure a rough mental image of the process – it involves red-hot molten metals being mixed, poured, and shaped in a sweltering workshop or factory. This approach still works …
Key Takeaways Berkeley Lab scientists showed a novel way to build advanced transistors decades before similar structures reached smartphones. Their bottom-up approach crafted transistors at 2-nanometer scale through chemical synthesis. As smartphone chips …
AutoBot found that high-quality films can be synthesized at relative humidity levels between 5 and 25% by carefully tuning the other three synthesis parameters. “This humidity range does not require stringent environmental controls,” said Ansuman Halder, a …
What’s the difference between conventional geothermal energy and enhanced geothermal energy? Imagine a future where nearly a quarter of the world’s electricity comes from a reliable source that’s been hiding right beneath our feet – the Earth’s heat. …
The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is at the forefront of a global shift in how science gets done—one driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and powerful data systems. By integrating these tools, …
Peter Nico, an accomplished soil and environmental biogeochemist who joined the lab in 2005, has been selected to serve as the new leader of the Energy Geosciences Division (EGD) in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area (EESA) at Lawrence Berkeley …
Specialty window products that are custom manufactured often cost more than mainstream products. Thus, a key goal for many companies is to scale up production to reduce costs. “Manufacturing at higher volume on automated production lines could help drive …
For example, researchers can probe the structure of rare and short-lived isotopes, atoms with different numbers of neutrons compared to the more common versions of the elements. FRIB will be able to create and study more than 1,000 new isotopes. Scientists …
Jennifer Doudna has been named the recipient of the 2026 Priestley Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Chemical Society (ACS), for her high-impact discoveries on RNA molecules with enzymatic functions, including the development of CRISPR-Cas9 …
“The electrons behave very differently in elements where you have these large relativistic effects, and the effect is expected to be even stronger in the superheavy elements,” Pore said. “This is why they might potentially not be in the right place on the …
[00:00:09] Lauren: Hello, I’m Lauren Biron, a science writer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and I’m here today with Sean Peisert, who leads computer security research and development. Sean, to start, could you give us a rundown of what kind of …
During his tenure, Witherell’s leadership has strengthened the Lab’s position as a world-leading institution for breakthrough science and energy solutions for the nation. The Lab’s programs in materials, chemistry, physics, biology, earth and environmental …
Scientists reanalyzed the supernovae with a sophisticated statistical method (a “Bayesian Hierarchical Model”) that can better account for uncertainties, incorporating partial information and the probability of errors. It makes it possible to include …
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the 2025 cohort of scientists and engineers selected to join Cyclotron Road – a DOE Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Now in its eleventh …
Formed from collapsed stars, pulsars are tiny astronomical objects that emit stunning, twin beams of light from each pole. Researcher Revathi Jambunathan is developing computer models of pulsars to answer questions about large-scale features, like their …
At the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the 88-Inch Cyclotron is a powerful machine built to accelerate ions and explore the atomic nucleus. For decades, it has helped scientists probe the building blocks of …
