Radiation Safety for Sunken-Ship Archaeology

Berkeley Lab researchers help scientists determine the radiation risk of exploring an underwater aircraft carrier.

Fermilab’s Flagship Accelerator Sets World Record

Fermilab's Main Injector accelerator, one of the most powerful particle accelerators in the world, has just achieved a world record for high-energy beams for neutrino experiments.

Sensitive and Specific: A New Way of Probing Electrolyte/Electrode Interfaces

Berkeley Lab researchers’ novel diffraction spectroscopy technique will provide insight to chemical processes at important battery interface.

Energy Secretary Moniz to Bestow Ernest Orlando Lawrence Awards on July 23rd

To attend the ceremony, please RSVP by Friday, July 17th.

Unlocking Lignin for Sustainable Biofuel

Using high-performance computing, a group of researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have provided insight into unraveling the tightly wound network of molecules that make up plant cell walls, and transforming them into more affordable biofuels.

Up, Up, and Away!

This summer, researchers are launching an unprecedented number of weather balloons in rural Oklahoma to collect data to help improve how weather and climate models predict the diurnal cycle of rainfall and cloud development.

Aluminum Clusters Shut Down Molecular Fuel Factory

Despite decades of industrial use, the exact chemical transformations occurring within zeolites, a common material used in the conversion of oil to gasoline, remain poorly understood. Now scientists have found a way to locate-with atomic precision-spots within the material where chemical reactions take place, and how these spots shut down.

Autonomous Taxis Would Deliver Significant Environmental and Economic Benefits

New Berkeley Lab study finds lower greenhouse gas emissions on per-mile basis for driverless cars deployed as taxis.

Big PanDA and Titan Merge to Tackle Torrent of LHC's Full-Energy Collision Data

Workload handling software has broad potential to maximize use of available supercomputing resources.

5 Properties of Physics That Affect Your Gas Mileage

Many of the same properties of physics that allow you to fly along the freeway also affect how much gas mileage you get out of your car.

The Rise and Fall of Core-Collapse Supernovae

2D and 3D models run at NERSC and Oak Ridge National Laboratory shed a new light on what fuels an exploding star.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research Leadership Computing Challenge Program Announces 24 Projects at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility

Each year, the ALCC program selects projects with an emphasis on high-risk, high-payoff simulations in areas directly related to the DOE mission and for broadening the community of researchers capable of using leadership computing resources.
