For 10 years, Cyclotron Road, housed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab), has been supporting scientists, researchers, and innovators in scaling emerging technologies and bringing them to ...

Today’s technologies depend increasingly on computers and artificial intelligence — largely powered by data centers, which have become essential U.S. infrastructure. Over the past two decades, data ...

The future of clean green solar power may well hinge on scientists being able to unravel the mysteries of photosynthesis, the process by which green plants convert sunlight into electrochemical energy ...

Innovative water treatment and desalination technologies hold promise for building climate resilience, realizing a circular water economy, and bolstering water security. However, more research and ...

Three scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were among the nearly 400 scientists and engineers awarded by President Biden to receive the ...

During extreme weather events, mountains will see more water fall as rain instead of as snow – making them vulnerable to floods, landslides, and soil erosion. For every 1 degree Celsius of global ...

Graphene, a material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been touted as the strongest material known to exist, 200 times stronger than steel, lighter than paper, and with extraordinary ...

In the March 5, 2010 edition of the journal Science, an international panel of 41 experts in geology, paleontology and other related fields, after an exhaustive review of the data, declared an end to ...
