Videos discussing the experiment’s new analysis are available on the DESI YouTube channel. Alongside unveiling its latest dark energy results at the APS meeting today, the DESI collaboration also announced that its Data Release 1 (DR1), which contains the …
Although DR1 is just a fraction of what DESI will eventually produce, the 270-terabyte dataset represents a staggering amount of information, including precise distances to millions of galaxies. The release contains more than twice as many extragalactic …
Key Takeaways Scientists have discovered “berkelocene,” the first organometallic molecule to be characterized containing the heavy element berkelium. The extremely oxygen- and water-sensitive complex was formed from 0.3 milligram of berkelium-249 using …
Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there’s one problem: once a composite sets, it’s there forever. Now there’s a better way. Researchers have developed a …
The heart of TESSERACT is its transition-edge sensors, but researchers are also developing additional detector modules that improve their odds of spotting dark matter. HeRALD (Helium Roton Apparatus for Light Dark matter) will be the first time that a dark …
The combination of flowing droplets and carefully modulated microwaves lets researchers ignore unwanted background noise and adds to their precision. When it comes to detecting trace amounts of slightly magnetic (or “paramagnetic”) chemicals in small …
From revolutionary advances in fuels to everyday products like cosmetics, bioreactors are at the forefront of science discoveries. Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts Process Development Unit is starting to explore self-driving bioreactors. …
A research team co-led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Columbia University, and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid has developed a new optical computing material from photon avalanching nanoparticles. The breakthrough – which the team …
Key Takeaways Scientists are exploring a more energy efficient approach to optical sensors that is inspired by how the retina works. In the approach, some data processing is conducted in the sensor itself, before the data is sent to a computer or processed …
The National Academy of Engineering has named two scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) to this year’s class of 128 new members and 22 international members. Election to the National Academy …
Following an international search, Ashfia Huq has been selected to serve as the next director of the Molecular Foundry at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Her appointment is expected to begin March 24. “ …
Marcus teamed up with Scott Sandford from NASA Ames Research Center and Zack Gainsforth from the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory to study the Bennu sample using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) at the ALS. By varying the energy of the X- …
Three scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were among the nearly 400 scientists and engineers awarded by President Biden to receive the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and …
Adapted from a Dec. 20, 2024 Department of Energy news release A recent report produced by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), which outlines the energy use of data centers from 2014 to 2028, estimates that data …
In collaboration with Zachary Nagel’s lab at the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard University, the Berkeley Lab researchers employed a bevy of innovative techniques to measure the DNA repair capacity, repair protein expression profiles, and …
Biochemist Jennifer Doudna, a faculty scientist at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), founder of the Innovative Genomics Institute, and a professor at UC Berkeley, has received the National Medal of Technology …
Paul Alivisatos, a world-renowned chemist and president of the University of Chicago who served as director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) from 2009 to 2016, has been named one of this year’s winners …
The U.S. Department of Energy has extended the University of California’s contract to manage and operate Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) for another five years, effective June 1, 2025. The contract extension continues an incredibly …
### Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is committed to groundbreaking research focused on discovery science and solutions for abundant and reliable energy supplies. The lab’s expertise spans materials, chemistry, physics, biology, earth …
Digging for DNA Lui is proud to be contributing knowledge that agencies like DWR and her other collaborator, the United States Geological Survey (USGS), can use to better manage the estuary’s natural resources. Still, these partnerships are far from one- …
