Chemical Reaction Caught in the Act!
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory got a neat surprise when they were trying to develop a new method of making graphene. They managed to capture a chemical reaction in the act, atom by atom, bond by bond: “We weren’t...Show More Summary
Reaction in Action: Before and After Pictures at the Atomic Level
Imagine watching a chemical reaction in real time: atoms breaking bonds with their neighbors and forming new arrangements as heat or pressure changes. That’s what scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley came close to achieving in these images. Using an atomic-force microscope the researchers captured before and after images [...]
First-ever high-res photos of chemical bonds breaking
About this groundbreaking photo from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley: "Almost as clearly as a textbook diagram, this image made by a noncontact atomic force microscope reveals the positions of individual atoms and...Show More Summary
Scientists capture images of molecules forming atomic bonds
For most of us, molecular bonding only really exists as a classroom concept. Some scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can now claim more tangible knowledge, however: they're the first to have taken truly clear snapshots of bonding in progress. Show More Summary
Atom by atom, bond by bond, a chemical reaction caught in the act
When Felix Fischer of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) set out to develop nanostructures made of graphene using a new, controlled approach to chemical reactions, the first result was a surprise: spectacular images of individual carbon atoms and the bonds between them. read more
NASA wants its long-lost Moon dust back
More than 40 years after it was brought back to Earth and accidentally put into storage, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory says it has re-discovered Moon dust samples collected by the Apollo 11 crew. But now NASA wants the samples returned, thank you very much. Read more...
Moon dust gathered by Neil Armstrong discovered in warehouse after 40 years
Have you seen me? (Credit: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory/Marilee Bailey) Several miscellaneous bits and pieces of the first moon mission have orbited back into our field of view lately. In March, it was pieces of the rocket that...Show More Summary
Whirlpools on the nanoscale could multiply magnetic memory
"We spent 15 percent of home energy on gadgets in 2009, and we're buying more gadgets all the time," says Peter Fischer of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Fischer lets you know right...Show More Summary
No Exascale for You! Part Deux: The Interview

Nanoscale artificial leaf can extract hydrogen from water with just sunlight
Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has shown what they call the "first fully integrated nanosystem for artificial photosynthesis".
Supercomputing director bets $2,000 that we won’t have exascale computing by 2020
The Deputy Director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has put $2000 of his own money on a bet that we won't have exascale computing by 2020, but still believes the endeavor is vital to long-term US interests and scientific discovery.
Is Antigravity Real? --"If Antimatter Falls Upward We Need to Rethink How the Universe Works"
“Is there such a thing as antigravity? Based on free-fall tests so far, we can’t say yes or no, ” says Joel Fajans of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). “This is the first word,...
Berkeley Lab Encourages Electric Vehicle Usage with Workplace Charging Facility
At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, where the nation’s top battery scientists are working to achieve revolutionary advances in battery performance, electric vehicles (EVs) are not just a technology of the future. Growing numbers of employees are already using them to commute to work. To encourage even more to do so, Berkeley Lab has announced that Continue reading ?
Scientists Discover New Ways to Capture Methane
Scientists at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have found new materials that could be used to scrub methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the air. The research team used systematic computer simulations to study the effectiveness of liquid solvents and nanoporous zeolites, porous materials commonly used as commercial absorbents, to capture methane. The [...]
Lawrence Livermore scientists discover new materials to capture methane
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and UC Berkeley and have discovered new materials to capture methane, the second highest concentration greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere. read more
Antarctica Is Melting Too, New Video
A chilling new video of Antarctica’s future has been created, and I’m not just saying that for the sake of the cheap pun. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has recently released the short clip which their experts produced with the assistance of climate scientists from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the UK’s [...]Show More Summary
