Pair of Research Products to Improve Power System Reliability and Resilience

Ravi Prasher Named Berkeley Lab’s Associate Director for Energy Technologies

IceCube Neutrinos Point to Long-Sought Cosmic Ray Accelerator

Image - In this artistic composition, based on a real image of the IceCube Lab at the South Pole, a distant source emits neutrinos that are detected below the ice by IceCube sensors, called digital optical modules (DOMs). (Credit: IceCube/NSF)

Berkeley Lab Team Wins Data-Driven Scavenger Hunt for Simulated Nuclear Materials

NOvA Experiment Sees Strong Evidence for Antineutrino Oscillation

Photo - NOvA's far detector in Minnesota. At the Neutrino 2018 conference, Fermilab’s NOvA neutrino experiment announced that it had seen strong evidence of muon antineutrinos oscillating into electron antineutrinos over long distances. NOvA collaborated with the Department of Energy’s Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing program and Fermilab’s HEPCloud program to perform the largest-scale analysis ever to support the recent evidence.

Faster, Cheaper, Better: A New Way to Synthesize DNA

Scientists Create Continuously Emitting Microlasers With Nanoparticle-Coated Beads

Image - At left, a tiny bead struck by a laser (at the yellowish spot shown at the top of the image) produces optical modes that circulate around the interior of the bead (pinkish ring). At right, a simulation of how the optical field inside a 5-micron (5 millionths of a meter) bead is distributed. (Credit: Angel Fernandez-Bravo/Berkeley Lab, Kaiyuan Yao)

CERN Ceremony Marks Groundbreaking for Accelerator Upgrade Involving U.S. National Labs

From Moon Rocks to Space Dust: Berkeley Lab's Extraterrestrial Research

Photo - A blue crystal recovered from a meteorite that fell near Morocco in 1998. The scale bar represents 200 microns (millionths of a meter). Such crystals, which have been studied at Berkeley Lab, have been found to contain liquid water and complex organic compounds. (Credit: Queenie Chan/The Open University, U.K.)
