Is Your Digital Information More at Risk Today than 10 Years Ago?
Researchers from the University of New Mexico and Berkeley Lab say cybersecurity breeches are not happening more frequently than they did a decade ago. And these data breaches in general are not growing in size. Read More »
New ‘Design Rule’ Paves Way for Nature-Inspired Nanostructures
Berkeley Lab researchers have discovered a design rule that enables a recently created material--peptoid nanosheets--to exist. This never-before-seen design rule could be used to piece together complex nanosheet structures and other peptoid assemblies such as nanotubes and crystalline solids. Read More »
After 10 Years, IMG Still Revolutionizing Genomics
This year, the Integrated Microbial Genome (IMG) data management system celebrates its tenth anniversary. In honor of this milestone, the Berkeley Lab researchers who led the development of IMG—Victor M Markowitz and Nikos C Kyrpides—reflect on its development, evolution and impact. Read More »

Science DMZ Opens Doors to More Science, More Collaboration
Science DMZ Special Report »Back to Main Story »Case Study: General Atomics At the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, the campus’s Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) and the campus network staff have deployed a Science DMZ which has turned the facility into a virtual beehive of collaborative research. Several years ago, the university IT staff began to see problems with large data flows and developed their own work around, using a fiber connection, VLAN and MPLS… Read More »
Science DMZ Fuels Fusion Research
On an international scale, the Science DMZ is playing a critical role in magnetic fusion research. In July, scientists at General Atomics in San Diego successfully remotely controlled experiments running on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) in Hefei, China. Read More »
