Using light from the Big Bang, an international team led by Cornell and the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has begun to unveil the material which fuels galaxy formation.
IN FEBRUARY, THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE released a new Forever Stamp honoring the late Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, one of the most influential nuclear physicists of her era. Born in China in 1912, Wu came to America at age 24 and studied nuclear physics at Cal.
BERKELEY, Calif.--()-- Lygos, Inc., a vertically integrated provider of safe and sustainable specialty ingredients, today announced that it is working with the U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Technologies Office's Agile BioFoundry (ABF) to generate the largest multi-omics dataset for guiding the development of organic acids.
smithsonianmag.com As more and more states legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use, demand for the intoxicating plant is increasing and around half of that commercial demand is being satisfied via fully indoor grow operations.
Recently discovered ripples of spacetime called gravitational waves could contain evidence to prove the theory that life survived the Big Bang because of a phase transition that allowed neutrino particles to reshuffle matter and anti-matter, explains a new study by an international team of researche
As a local who often writes about the need for Coachella Valley and its environs to be more economically diversified, I applaud the efforts of Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia. The Lithium Valley Commission his law created (" Will California's desert, Salton Sea be transformed into Lithium Valley? " Desert Sun, Feb.

The U.S. Department of Energy has formally approved a key milestone in the High-Luminosity LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project being carried out at eight U.S. institutions, including the DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
To a certain extent, the Chicago native (who moved to Greece at 10 or 11 to live with an uncle's family after the death of his mother) will be returning home four decades after graduating from the U of C with a chemistry degree.
Light-absorbing molecules can transform photons into electricity or fuels by shuttling electrons from one atom to another. In many cases the molecules are surrounded by a solvent - such as water, in the case of the electron shuttling that underlies photosynthesis - and studies have shown that the solvent plays an important role in these electron transfers.
News Release (510) 520-0843 * Kai Vetter, a UC Berkeley nuclear engineering professor and head of the Applied Nuclear Physics program at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), recalled the rush of reporters as he and other professors walked outside after a faculty meeting 10 years ago, on Friday, March 11, 2011.
Water is perhaps Earth's most critical natural resource. Given increasing demand and increasingly stretched water resources, scientists are pursuing more innovative ways to use and reuse existing water, as well as to design new materials to improve water purification methods.
According to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Sustainability, an eighth of legal cannabis comes with up to a 41-pound carbon footprint, Gizmodo reports. The Colorado State University researchers found that the cumulative greenhouse gas emissions created by one indoor cultivation warehouse was between 5,033 pounds and 11,428 pounds of carbon-equivalent per every 2.2 pounds of dried flower.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced it will provide $30 million for Quantum Information Science (QIS) research that helps scientists understand how nature works on an extremely small scale-100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. QIS can help our nation solve some of the most pressing and [...]
VERMILLION - The University of South Dakota College of Arts & Sciences is hosting its first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Symposium March 16-18 via Zoom. The AI Symposium aims to unite AI and data engineering experts in academia, industry and government around current issues and areas of collaboration where AI-driven tools are in demand due to big data issues, such as in health care, cyberthreats, quantum computing, sustainable agriculture and risk management.
What began on February 9 as a 40-second conversation about approaching cold weather at a board meeting of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has turned into one of the most disastrous power failures in recent memory.
Stellar, a computing cluster that Princeton University is installing in its High-Performance Computing Research Center, will sharply advance research at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) to bring to Earth the fusion energy that powers the sun and stars.
