U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the new supercomputer Thursday at Berkeley Lab alongside execs from Dell & NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. The machine could be U.S. Department of Energy's biggest resource for tasks like training A.I. models. #AI apnews.com/article/nvidia…
"String-breaking for quarks has a number of open theoretical questions," says Berkeley Lab's Anthony Ciavarell. "The rapid growth of #QuantumComputing hardware has enabled researchers to begin to simulate this process directly." newscientist.com/article/248299…
"Gravity could be made of gravitons, like light and photons. Or maybe, like sound waves in a gas, it could come from the entropic dynamics of some microscopic thermal system,” says Berkeley Lab's Daniel Carney quantamagazine.org/is-gravity-jus… via Quanta Magazine
From short blips to long blackouts, we're crunching the numbers on power outages. 🧮💡 Our researchers developed tools to estimate the cost of widespread outages. The goal? Help utilities invest smarter—so fewer people lose power. newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/06/16/ber… Berkeley Lab ETA
“This project has resulted in the most comprehensive and detailed estimate yet of the costs of power outages.” – Peter Larsen, staff scientist and research deputy. Berkeley Lab ETA newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/06/16/ber…
"Our approach will give scientists a powerful tool to investigate normal gene regulation and unravel the increasingly strong link between #disease and variations in the non-coding #genome ,” says Berkeley Lab’s Michael Kosicki phys.org/news/2025-06-g…
"In order to turn bold ideas into practical solutions at a scale which benefits society, industry needs access to the scientific expertise provided by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory & other national laboratories," says Berkeley Lab's Deepti Tanjore. thomasnet.com/insights/berke…
"We think we really understand the calibration in a way no one has before, and we’re excited to add more #supernovas and see what they can tell us about #darkenergy," says Berkeley Lab's Greg Aldering space.com/astronomy/blac…
"The best practices in planning align investments to achieve specific outcomes which clearly support established planning objectives," says @berkeleylab's Lisa Schwartz. The best metrics reflect priority & contribution to the solution. utilitydive.com/trendline/elec… via Utility Dive
Creatively thinking, this cool fundamental science could lead to entangling two anti-matter #qubits and ultimately entangling a matter and anti-matter qubit, thus gaining more insight into fundamental particle physics says Berkeley Lab 's Bert de Jong gizmodo.com/physicists-cre…
"News of this material is indeed very promising, and we look forward to information on additional important properties like machinability and weldability," says Berkeley Lab's Soren Prestemon #fusion popularmechanics.com/science/energy…
"We urgently need more R&D to strategically shape the energy technologies we want to power our future society—even at a scale 10x larger than today," says Berkeley Lab's Arman Shehabi ig.ft.com/ai-data-centre… via @ft & Rafe Uddin
"Innovation is often limited by infrastructure, but the rapid growth of #AI data centers presents a unique opportunity to build next-gen energy systems from the ground up," says Berkeley Lab's Arman Shehabi ft.com/content/0f6111… via @ft Tim Bradshaw
"The technique used to produce & identify nobelium molecules is groundbreaking," says @berkeleylab's Jennifer Pore. "The success of these measurements opens the door to the next generation of superheavy element chemistry & could reshape the periodic table newscientist.com/article/249175…
"These new approaches to ocean #desalination all utilize small, distributed, manufactured units, rather than a single large-scale custom-built facility, which cuts manufacturing costs and speed deployment of these systems," says Berkeley Lab's Peter Fiske scientificamerican.com/article/deep-s…
"From farms to cities, turning tough-to-treat water into a #CleanWater 🚰 supply could be life-changing. Proving it works in the real world is how we solve water scarcity for good," says Berkeley Lab's Peter Fiske (via Tech Briefs) 💧🌱🌍 National Alliance for Water Innovation techbriefs.com/component/cont…
