As the Director of the Scientific Networking Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Executive Director of the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), Inder Monga is an expert in keeping the flow of scientific data running 24/7. ESnet …
To illustrate how EcoBOT couples continuous measurement, adaptive modeling, and experimental redesign, the Berkeley Lab researchers used the system to observe how the model grass Brachypodium distachyon responds to environmental stressors such as nutrient …
Chiral 2D metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are among the most promising materials for future technologies that exploit the spin of electrons in spin-based optoelectronics or spintronics, but getting them to perform consistently has proven difficult. Now …
Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside …
Q: What will this first product treat? We focused on urinary tract infections because they’re a common indication for antibiotic use, so introducing an alternative treatment is a great way to immediately reduce antibiotic prescriptions and help slow down …
Imagine a pond’s surface on a completely windless day — no boats, no fish, no disturbances. Even then, if you zoomed in close enough, you wouldn’t find complete stillness — tiny ripples would remain, not because something is stirring the water, but because …
Molecular Foundry The Molecular Foundry provides access to expertise, instrumentation, and tool development for research at the smallest scales. Since phenomena at the nanoscale touch nearly every field of science, the Foundry brings together a broad range …
Reiner Kruecken, an internationally recognized nuclear physicist, has been named the Associate Laboratory Director (ALD) for the Physical Sciences Area of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). His appointment was approved by the University …
Q: What are the most important scientific challenges that these first-gen systems will help scientists solve that classical computers can’t today? At AQT, a lot of the work that we do is focused on using first-generation quantum systems to understand the …
From writing emails to generating computer code, much of the artificial intelligence prevalent in our daily lives has succeeded by mastering one domain: text. However, this leaves a major blind spot in the physical sciences, where models depend on the high …
Kristin Persson, a Daniel M. Tellep Distinguished Professor in Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley and faculty senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and …
Two Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) scientists have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research. They are part of a cohort of 120 new …
The University of California Board of Regents today (May 5) approved Katherine Yelick as the next director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Her appointment as director begins on July 1. Yelick is a leading computer scientist with a …
DESI has now measured cosmological data for six times as many galaxies and quasars as all previous measurements combined. The collaboration will immediately begin processing the completed dataset, with the first dark energy results from DESI’s full five- …
Measuring just under 10 feet long, the seismometer developed at Berkeley Lab’s GMF was deployed 6,995 feet underground on July 27, 2025, through a borehole at Cape Station. Situated beside the U.S. Department of Energy’s Frontier Observatory for Research …
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has announced their 2025 Fellows, including three scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). AAAS awards this lifetime honor to scientists …
The road to deploying the next flagship supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) reached an important milestone in January with the delivery of the NERSC-10 Pilot Early Access System (EAS). Smaller than the full- …
Although dark matter makes up most of the mass in our universe, it has never been directly observed. To hunt for lighter dark matter and other rare phenomena, researchers must solve a puzzle in their supersensitive detectors: an unexpected number of low- …
Three projects led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are among those selected as part of a $155 million Department of Energy (DOE) investment in American industrial innovation. Spanning load flexibility, data center cooling, and food …
Key Takeaways A new computer program developed at Berkeley Lab offers a faster and more accurate way to determine a protein’s structure. Known as AQuaRef, the program uses quantum-mechanical calculations and artificial intelligence to produce higher …
