Supercomputer Helps Model 3D Map of Adolescent Universe
Using extremely faint light from galaxies 10.8 billion light years away, scientists have created one of the most complete, three-dimensional maps of a slice of the adolescent universe—just 3 billion years after the Big Bang. Read More »
Dispelling a Misconception About Mg-Ion Batteries
A series of computer simulations run at NERSC has dispelled a long-standing misconception about magnesium-ions in the electrolyte that transports the ions between a battery’s electrodes. Read More »

Simulations Reveal An Unusual Death for Ancient Stars
Certain primordial stars—those between 55,000 and 56,000 times the mass of our Sun, or solar masses—may have died unusually. In death, these objects—among the Universe’s first-generation of stars—would have exploded as supernovae and burned completely, leaving no remnant black hole behind. Read More »
Pore models track reactions in underground carbon capture
Berkeley Lab researchers are creating microscopic pore-scale simulations could help scientists evaluate ways to store carbon dioxide produced by power plants, keeping it from contributing to global climate change. Read More »
Interface Surprises May Motivate Novel Oxide Electronic Devices
Complex oxides have long tantalized the materials science community for their promise in next-generation energy and information technologies. Now researchers have found that intrinsic electric fields can drive oxygen diffusion at interfaces in engineered thin films made of complex oxides. Read More »
CS Staff Contribute to Successful National Lab Day in Washington
Seventeen DOE national labs pooled their expertise and accomplishments to stage National Lab Day in the Rayburn Senate Office Building on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The event, which focused on the labs as a system rather than highlighting individual labs. drew 15 members of Congress and more than 100 staff members. Read More »
Mapping the March to Methodical Materials
