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- …
Cyclotron Road, an entrepreneurial fellowship program at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab), recently hit a significant milestone. Less than 18 months after surpassing $1 billion, the companies led by Cyclotron Road entrepreneurial fellows past …
### The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) is one of the five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and with Sandia …
The gas jet system has another benefit: resilience. Because the sheet of gas has no parts to break, the technology can scale to very high repetition rates, which the lab is working toward for future particle colliders and applications. Researchers also …
Blake Simmons, Director of the Biological Systems and Engineering Division of the Biosciences Area of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Chief Science & Technology Officer at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), is among 170 new …
Key Takeaways Better-performing film capacitors are needed for safe, reliable electric vehicles and renewable energy, but it’s challenging to find suitable materials. To accelerate the discovery of breakthrough materials, researchers developed a machine- …
There are still other ways to pick up clues for lost wells. Planes with laser systems known as LIDAR can image the ground. Thermal cameras can point toward hidden leaks. CATALOG members are even developing an app that uses a smartphone’s magnetometer to …
Scientists have discovered a faster, more sustainable method for making metal-encapsulated covalent organic frameworks (COFs), materials that have the potential to play a crucial role in catalysis, energy storage, and chemical sensing. Their new one-step, …
Adapted from a news release by Colorado State University. Rivers and streams serve as critical connectors across vast geographical landscapes, trickling out of tucked-away headwaters and snaking thousands of miles toward oceans and deep seas. These …
The study also provided new upper limits on the mass of neutrinos, the only fundamental particles whose masses have not yet been precisely measured. Previous neutrino experiments found that the sum of the masses of the three types of neutrinos should be at …
For the first time, researchers have observed how bromoform rearranges its atoms in less than a trillionth of a second after it gets hit by an ultraviolet (UV) pulse. The imaging technique captured a long-predicted pathway by which the ozone-layer-damaging …
Adapted from a news release by the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) at UC Berkeley. The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Agrobacterium in the wild causes …
Key Takeaways Researchers at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. Wigner molecular crystals are important because they may exhibit novel transport and spin …
