New model could help materials scientists move promising discoveries toward manufacturing dramatically faster with higher purity and yield. "It closes the gap between material discovery and new technologies that benefit society.” – Kristin Persson, LBNL

- NASA’s Artemis program is bringing us back to the moon! As missions get longer & more complex, astronauts will need more water than they can easily bring on the journey. New work at Berkeley Lab could help find frozen water hidden in the moon’s subsurface.
- Berkeley Lab’s cyclotron changed more than physics, it helped invent team science. Ernest O. Lawrence’s collaborative model became a blueprint for @ENERGY’s national laboratories. #Freedom250 #DOE
- Researchers watched carbon dioxide turn into graphite in real time, revealing how captured carbon could one day become a critical battery material instead of waste. #CriticalMinerals newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/07/30/pul…
- Never underestimate a scientist with a 75-cent mystery. 🕵️ In 1986, Berkeley Lab astronomer Clifford Stoll followed a tiny accounting discrepancy into one of computing’s earliest cyberespionage cases and helped write the playbook for cybersecurity.In 1986, a tiny 75-cent discrepancy in a computer billing report set off one of the most remarkable detective stories in the early days of computing. Clifford Stoll, an astronomer at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, could have dismissed the missing amount as a rounding error.
