Three projects led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) are among those selected as part of a $155 million Department of Energy (DOE) investment in American industrial innovation.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wildfires have become increasingly frequent due to climate change, with record occurrences in areas not historically prone to them. In California, wildfires and regional power shutoffs have cost ...

About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses. A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce ...

Meet the sniffer dog of spectroscopy tools: an AI-enhanced sensor that can “sniff and seek” target objects in real-time. Spectral imaging tools — cameras that capture colors beyond the RGB spectrum ...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) uses a 2.5-meter telescope with a wider field of view than any other large telescope, located on a mountaintop in New Mexico called Apache Point and devoted solely ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument collaboration has publicly released the first 13 months of data from its main survey — a treasure trove that will help other researchers investigate big ...

Type Ia supernovae let us precisely measure cosmic distances and gave us the first evidence of the universe’s accelerating expansion. Researchers from the Supernova Cosmology Project used a new ...
