Berkeley Lab

Project scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or Berkeley Lab, officially joined United Auto Workers, or UAW 5810, the UC academic researchers and postdoctoral scholars union, Nov. 1.

Berkeley Lab will open two new centers for the advancement of clean energy technologies.

A new center called the Center for High Precision Patterning Science, or CHiPPS, led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory aims to pursue fundamental research in patterning science, specifically by studying extreme ultraviolet lithography, or EUV lithography.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or LBNL, found that carpets could serve as long-term “reservoirs” of tobacco pollutants in households frequently exposed to smoke in a recent study.

Researchers engineered infinitely renewable plastics called poly(diketoenamine), or PDK, for the first time using bio-based ingredients.

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or LBNL, found that existing rail networks can be used to transport batteries to places in need; a cost effective solution to power-grid issues. 

Studying a molecule’s vibrational changes can provide insight into how light can be used as a means to “finely tune” the dissociation of a molecule.

Berkeley Lab scientists Dung-Hai Lee and Jizhong Zhou were recently elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 

Out of thousands of nominees, Berkeley Lab’s new website has made it to the Top 5 finalists eligible to win the Webby Award, the “Oscars of the Internet.”

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is beginning to use technoeconomic analysis to predict the best avenues for decarbonization and climate change solutions.
