On a black background, an irregular purple shape with one large oval mass and two smaller clumps on either side, with orange highlights in the center of each shape, though the highlight in the middle is much larger and has white in its center. Purple double helices cluster on a black background, with blue clump-shaped molecules wrapped around the strands A clean room with employees working at workstations on the left, a work table in the center with an employee looking down at a sample. Simple oblong cells are seen against a black background, looking like individual bubbles or small clusters. The membranes glow green and red. Jonelle Basso, Research Scientist, Joint Genome Institute (JGI), checks the growth of plants she is investigating at a growth chamber in the Integrative Genomics Building Glowing map of the western U.S. showing dense clusters of activity with bright lights across major states like California, Texas, and Colorado. Two researchers examine a cylindrical component mounted in a testing rig on a workbench in a lab filled with equipment and tools. Three researchers align precision optics to prepare the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Petawatt laser for laser-plasma accelerator experiments. The left molecular diagram shows how an individual platinum atom (gray) has replaced a cerium atom (green) on a cerium oxide surface. In the diagram at right, hydrogen molecules (white) applied to the surface split into hydrogen atoms that bond with cerium. This atomically tailored catalyst demonstrated impressive performance.
