VIDEO: Revealing the Nano Big Bang – Scientists Observe the First Milliseconds of Crystal Formation
March 25th, 2021At the Molecular Foundry, scientists recruited a world-leading microscope to capture atomic-resolution, high-speed images of gold atoms self-organizing, falling apart, and then reorganizing many times before settling into a stable, ordered crystal.
How Microorganisms Can Help Us Get to Net Negative Emissions
March 25th, 2021A Q&A with Berkeley Lab scientist Eric Sundstrom on a technology to turn electrons to bioproducts
Do You Know the Way to Berkelium, Californium?
March 24th, 2021Scientists at Berkeley Lab have demonstrated how to image samples of heavy elements as small as a single nanogram. The new approach will help scientists advance new technologies for medical imaging and cancer therapies.
Missing Baryons Found in Far-Out Reaches of Galactic Halos
March 16th, 2021Researchers have channeled the universe’s earliest light – a relic of the universe’s formation known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) – to solve a missing-matter mystery and learn new things about galaxy formation. Their work could also help us to better understand dark energy and test Einstein’s theory of general relativity by providing new details about the rate at which galaxies are moving toward us or away from us.
