NERSC's Edison Supercomputer to Retire after Five Years of Service
NERSC’s Edison supercomputer opened for production use on January 14, 2014. Now, after more than five years of providing supercomputing capability to Department of Energy projects, the system will be retired on May 13, 2019. Read More »
Superfacility Framework Advances Photosynthesis Research
For more than a decade, a team of international researchers led by Berkeley Lab bioscientists has been studying Photosystem II, a protein complex in green plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that plays a crucial role in photosynthesis. They’re now moving more quickly toward an understanding of this three-billion-year-old biological system, thanks to an integrated superfacility framework established between LCLS, ESnet, and NERSC.

A Breakthrough in the Study of Laser/Plasma Interactions
A new 3D particle-in-cell simulation tool developed by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and CEA Saclay is enabling cutting-edge simulations of laser/plasma coupling mechanisms that were previously out of reach of standard PIC codes used in plasma research. Read More »
Kathy Yelick to Step Down as ALD for Computing Sciences
Associate Lab Director for Computing Sciences Kathy Yelick will step down at the end of 2019. She will focus on her research and teaching while continuing to advise lab leadership on computing sciences issues. Read More »
Envisioning the Future of Machine Learning and Data Analytics
Some 40 early and mid-career applied mathematicians from national labs across the country came together at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in early April to explore the big, unsolved challenges Department of Energy labs should tackle in the next 10 to 20 years. The gathering also sowed the seeds for future collaborations. Read More »
Searching for Photocathodes that Convert CO₂ into Fuels
CO2 is a promising solution to clean, low-cost, renewable energy, but we need more efficient photocathodes to convert CO2 into fuels. Berkeley Lab researchers and NERSC supercomputing resources helped sift through 70,000 candidate materials to ID some new ones. Read More »
