These achievements represent just a fraction of the contributions made possible by Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry. For nearly twenty years, the Foundry has played a pivotal role in advancing science at the nanoscale. By equipping researchers with state- …
[00:00:08] John German: Hi everyone. This is John German with Berkeley Lab Strategic Communications team. I’m here today with Ashfia Huq, who joined Berkeley Lab in March as director of the Molecular Foundry. Ashfia, thank you for taking the time to talk …
Understanding human biology requires more than mapping our genes – we must also understand how gene expression is regulated to guide healthy development, growth, and maintenance of our body systems over a lifetime. Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National …
Researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), have used biology to convert human urine into a valuable product. The team genetically modified yeast to take the …
Modern hybrid sugarcane is one of the most harvested crops on the planet, used to make products including sugar, molasses, bioethanol, and bio-based materials. It also has one of the most complex genetic blueprints, featuring many replicated chromosomes …
Ashleigh Papp: Hi, this is Ashleigh Papp from the Strategic Communications team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Today, I’m with Nigel Mouncey, the Director of the Joint Genome Institute, a user facility in the Biosciences Area — we’re going to …
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are partnering with electric utilities across the country to create more accurate cost estimates for both short- and long-term power outages, building tools to guide investments in grid …
[00:00:06] Lauren Biron: Hello everyone. I’m Lauren Biron, a science writer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and I’m here today with Cameron Geddes, who’s the head of the Accelerator Technology and Applied Physics Division at Berkeley Lab. Cameron …
Fusion, the process powering our sun, has the potential to provide a virtually limitless supply of energy. But harnessing it on Earth requires researchers to overcome some of the most complex challenges in physics and engineering. Here are six ways experts …
[00:00:08] Jenny: Hi, this is Jenny from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Strategic Communications Team. Today I have Eva Schill with me, who is the geothermal systems program lead in our energy geosciences division. And today we’re going to spend …
However, fluctuations in beam pointing, known as “jitter,” that are caused by mechanical vibrations, hinder the laser’s performance and impede progress in these applications. “Laser pointing errors are particularly problematic in LPAs as they cause …
Key Takeaways Scientists developed a new fabrication technique to fine-tune a platinum catalyst on an atomic level. To demonstrate the technique’s effectiveness, the research team showed that the catalyst could increase the reaction speed of carbon …
Dan Krotz: Hi, this is Dan Krotz with Berkeley Lab’s Strategic Communications team. I’m here today with Harshi Mukundan, who joined Berkeley Lab a few years ago to work jointly in the Office of National and Homeland Security and the Biosciences Area. She …
Eva Nogales, a senior faculty scientist in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (Berkeley Lab) Biosciences Area, has been elected as a Foreign Member of the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. Nogales – who is also …
During a visit to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced a new contract with Dell Technologies to develop NERSC-10, the next flagship supercomputer at the National Energy Research Scientific …
Energy Generation and Storage Building on their expertise in fluid behavior in underground rock from geothermal energy research, Berkeley Lab scientists are exploring ways to ensure year-round energy access through geologic hydrogen and underground water- …
Solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges, from computing and energy technologies to cancer research and drug discovery, rely on our ability to understand the detailed composition of matter. Ultrabright light sources powered by specialized …
[00:00:00] Theresa Duque: Hi, this is Theresa Duque from Berkeley Lab’s Strategic Communications Team. I’m here today with Bruno La Fontaine, who joined Berkeley Lab in 2023 to lead the Center for X-Ray optics, also known as CXRO. Before joining Berkeley …
