Meet the entrepreneurs shaping America’s future in computing, energy & biotech. See what @ENERGY’s LEEP makes possible at #LEEPDemoDay, May 21 in Berkeley — hosted by Berkeley Lab+ @cyclotronroad. sites.google.com/lbl.gov/leep-d… @NREL @ORNL @SandiaLabs
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 @BerkeleyLab 's Bert de Jong gizmodo.com/physicists-cre…
"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 @UtilityDive
"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 @BerkeleyLab's Greg Aldering space.com/astronomy/blac…
"From high-performance magnets to advanced lasers & simulations, we're engaged with U.S. industry, like TAE, TypeOne Energy & Realta Fusion to develop technologies & insights to help unlock the potential of #fusion energy" - @Berkeleylab’s Cameron Geddes. time.com/7302543/nuclea…
"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 @BerkeleyLab's Deepti Tanjore. thomasnet.com/insights/berke…

"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 @BerkeleyLab’s Michael Kosicki phys.org/news/2025-06-g…
“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. @BerkeleyLabETA newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/06/16/ber…
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… @BerkeleyLabETA
"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 @BerkeleyLab's Daniel Carney quantamagazine.org/is-gravity-jus… via @QuantaMagazine

"String-breaking for quarks has a number of open theoretical questions," says @BerkeleyLab's Anthony Ciavarell. "The rapid growth of #QuantumComputing hardware has enabled researchers to begin to simulate this process directly." newscientist.com/article/248299…
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the new supercomputer Thursday at @BerkeleyLab alongside execs from @Dell & @nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The machine could be @ENERGY's biggest resource for tasks like training A.I. models. #AI apnews.com/article/nvidia…
The new supercomputer, which uses @NVIDIAAI chips tailored for A.I. calculations, could be the Energy Department’s biggest resource for tasks like training A.I. models, says @BerkeleyLab's Jonathan Carter @ENERGY nytimes.com/2025/05/29/tec…
Designed to accelerate science, @doescience announces the new “Doudna” supercomputer, powered by NVIDIA and @Dell at @NERSC’s @BerkeleyLab. Driven by @NVIDIA’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform, this system brings together AI and simulation to help 11,000 scientists tackle…
“We’re talking about two orders of magnitude more compute than any kind of academic data set that’s ever been made,” says @BerkeleyLab's Sam Blau who worked with @Meta on this. “It’s going to dramatically change how people do computational chemistry.” semafor.com/article/05/14/…
“#Water is the ore body of the 21st century,” says the Lab's Peter Fiske. “Technology now is allowing us to pick through the garbage piles of #wastewater and pick out the high-value items.” nytimes.com/2025/05/13/sci…
Mid-sized #datacenters uses as much as 300,000 gallons of water daily — the equivalent usage of 1,000 American homes, says @BerkeleyLab's Arman Shehabi thecooldown.com/green-business…
"When trying to manufacture with #biology, inventing new biological pathways and tools is just half the battle, says @BerkeleyLab's Deepti Tanjore. "Scaling them up for commercial production is just as important." @abpdu newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/05/01/how…
