A Berkeley Lab team built a large language model-powered assistant, called TEM Agent, that can operate a transmission electron microscope from natural-language instructions. The system uses an open ...
Through a decade-long partnership between the ALS and NASA, researchers are studying how heat shield materials called superlight ablators degrade, informing NASA spacecraft design. Research at the ALS ...
Dark matter is the mysterious substance that accounts for the vast majority of matter in our universe. LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a world-leading dark matter detector and specializes in searching for WIMPs, ...
Scientists around the world use the focused beams of light generated by the Advanced Light Source (ALS) synchrotron to study molecules and materials with atomic precision — yielding fundamental ...
The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys combined more than 263,000 telescope exposures to make the largest 2D map of the universe in visible and near-infrared light. Astronomers can pair the Legacy Surveys ...
The new work presents an approach to find ice deposits hidden in the moon’s subsurface. The team studied the physics underlying how moon rocks respond to seismic waves. Their experiments showed a ...
Graphite, the carbon center of your humble #2 pencil, is also an essential component in technologies such as batteries, smartphones, laptops, and industrial power equipment. Today, nearly all of this ...
Adapted from an article by Robert Sanders at UC Berkeley. Nearly 100 years ago, a discovery revolutionized light microscopy. The introduction of the phase-contrast microscope, which garnered a Nobel ...
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos ever conducted, finished all observations for its originally planned 3D map of the universe. Scientists use ...
Scientists and industry operators like Fervo Energy are developing enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), engineered reservoirs in Earth’s subsurface, to access the constant heat deep underground, where ...
The Materials Project is the most-cited resource for materials data and analysis tools in materials science. The Materials Project and its tools have been cited more than 32,000 times in peer-reviewed ...
The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is at the forefront of a global shift in how science gets done—one driven by artificial intelligence, automation, and ...
