Automating Microbial Genome Sequence Decontamination

A team from the Prokaryotic Super Program at the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, has developed the first computational protocol for quick and automated removal of contaminant sequences from draft genomes.

A Bright Light for Ultrafast Snapshots of Materials

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a way of producing an efficient, high-repetition-rate XUV source for use in obtaining rapid, sharp images of electronic structure.

3D Potential Through Laser Annihilation

A team of scientists at Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source and the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF’s) are using the power of ALCF’s IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, Mira, to reveal the atomic structures behind the scatterings left by ultra intense bursts from x-ray lasers.

LHC Physicists Preserve Native American Voices

Physicists are using LHC detector technology to retrieve Native American music from old recordings.

Investigating Buried Interfaces in Ferroelectric Materials

Researchers at Berkeley Lab and the Soleil Synchrotron in Paris decode interface switching effects in ferroelectric memories.

Newly Discovered Property Could Help Beat the Heat Problem in Computer Chips

X-ray studies at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have for the first time observed an exotic property that could warp the electronic structure of a material in a way that reduces heat buildup and improves performance in ever-smaller computer components.

Kneading Enzyme Makes Ammonia Levels Rise

Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Lab, Utah State, Montana State and Virginia Tech have discovered how two natural proteins work together to speed the generation of ammonia; findings that may be important in future fertilizer production.

North to Alaska: Researchers Rush to Understand Warming Trend

The ARM Airborne Carbon Measurements V (ARM-ACME V) team—led by Sebastien Biraud from U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory—will run an aerial campaign from June 1 to September 15, measuring trace gas concentrations, aerosols, and cloud properties to find out why current climate models underestimate how rapidly the Arctic is getting warmer.
