Three scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science to receive funding through the Early Career Research Program (ECRP). The Department of Energy today announced …
Adapted from a news release by the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory. Today the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the creation of two new Energy Innovation Hubs. One of the national hubs, the Energy Storage Research Alliance (ESRA …
Adapted from a release by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at …
Artificial photosynthesis could one day harness energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water into liquid fuels to power your car, and enable a process for creating chemicals and fertilizers that is better for the environment. But …
Key Takeaways With 280 days of data, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration has made a world-leading search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in areas no experiment has probed before. The new result is nearly five times better than the previous …
• Wind energy prices have risen but remain attractive for purchasers. Wind power purchase agreement prices have been drifting higher since about 2018, with a recent range from less than $20 per MWh to more than $40 per MWh depending on region and other …
The Engineering Division partners with research and development efforts and collaborates with science divisions in support of projects and programs across Berkeley Lab. As the Laboratory’s Chief Engineer, Leitner will report to the Laboratory Director, …
Key Takeaways The approach allows scientists to easily study what genes in microbes do. It can be applied to a huge range of isolated organisms or analyze genes derived from microbiome samples with many species mixed together. Initial experiments with the …
Adapted from a news release by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. In a major step for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), scientists have detected the first neutrinos using a DUNE prototype particle detector at the U.S. …
Under Persson’s directorship since 2011, the Materials Project has become the most widely used open-access repository of information on inorganic materials in the world. The database holds millions of properties on hundreds of thousands of crystalline …
Two innovative technologies from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have been honored with a 2024 R&D 100 Award. The award, presented by R&D Magazine and selected by an independent panel of …
Adapted from a release by Université Laval. To transcribe the information contained in our genes or to repair the dozens of breaks that occur daily in our DNA, our enzymes must be able to directly access the DNA to perform their functions. However, in the …
In their quest to understand what matter is made of and how its constituents behave, decay, and transform, particle physicists carry out vast numbers of experiments at increasingly powerful accelerators and non-accelerator facilities worldwide. The …
The recipe for making superheavy elements is simple in theory. You smash together two lighter elements that, combined, have the number of protons you want in your final atom. It’s basic math: 1+2=3. Berkeley Lab researchers are credited in the discovery of …
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is naturally produced in many crucial industries such as agriculture and wastewater treatment. What if we could grab that gas before it goes into the atmosphere, and make something useful out of it? Mango Materials, a …
Key Takeaways For the first time, researchers have demonstrated an approach that combines high-throughput computation and atomic-scale fabrication to engineer high-performance quantum defects. The methods provide a novel pathway to accelerate the discovery …
Key Takeaways Agricultural residues and wastes from growing and processing crops can provide the raw materials needed to make bio-based products, materials, and fuels. A new award will help researchers build a publicly accessible database to guide farmers, …
One area of interest is in using an isotope of actinium (actinium-225) in a cancer treatment method called targeted alpha therapy (TAT), which has shown promise in clinical trials. The TAT method uses biological delivery systems such as peptides or …
When it comes to figuring out why electric aircraft batteries lose power over time, one typically wouldn’t think to turn to a decades-old approach biologists use to study the structure and function of components in living organisms. However, it turns out …
Today the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the 2024 cohort of scientists and engineers selected to join Cyclotron Road – a DOE Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Launched in 2015, …
