A computer is suspended from the ceiling. Delicate lines and loops of silvery wires and tubes connect gold-colored platforms. It seems to belong in a…
Berkeley Lab researchers have reported a breakthrough in phase-change materials, which will improve the affordability of thermal energy storage. Phase-change materials can be added inside…
A neutron star begins its life as a star between about 7 and 20 times the mass of the sun. When this type of star…
A supernova is the colossal explosion of a star. Scientists have identified several types of supernova. One type, called a “core-collapse” supernova, occurs in the…

Machine learning is the process of using computers to detect patterns in massive datasets and then make predictions based on what the computer learns from…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) simply means intelligence in machines, in contrast to natural intelligence found in humans and other natural organisms. Artificial intelligence gained its name…
This simulation shows two dense neutron stars colliding. The collision has formed a black hole orbited by a whirlpool of magnetized gas. Some matter emerges…
Scientists at Sandia National Labs invent new yardstick for benchmarking performance. What does a quantum computer have in common with a top draft pick in…
Samples of an all-season smart-roof coating designed to keep homes warm during the winter and cool during the summer – without consuming natural gas or…
A new study finds that plants are photosynthesizing more in response to more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but nowhere near enough to remove all…
Two recent papers settle long-standing questions about algorithms on future quantum computers. Recent theoretical breakthroughs have settled two long-standing questions about the viability of simulating…
A novel proof that certain quantum convolutional networks can be guaranteed to be trained clears the way for quantum artificial intelligence to aid in materials…
Rice University graduate student Wenbin Li prepares a 2D perovskite solar cell for testing in a solar simulator. Rice engineers boosted the efficiency of cells…
Geothermal power plants at the Salton Sea like this one, the John Featherstone plane, produce superheated brine, which is full of lithium and other minerals.…
The ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor, shown in green, envelops the roots of a transgenic switchgrass plant. Switchgrass is not known to interact with this type…
Near elimination of air pollution from diesel-electric freight trains by 2025 is now possible by retrofitting them with battery tender cars. Berkeley Lab study shows…
Neutrinos interacting with nuclei. Credit: DOE’s Jefferson Lab Early-career nuclear physicists show that a better understanding of how neutrinos interact with matter is needed to…
