Assessing the Impact of Human-Induced Climate Change
New research from Berkeley Lab and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research finds at least two-thirds of environmental impacts related to recent climate change are caused by human emissions of greenhouse gases. Read More »
World’s Most Sensitive Dark Matter Detector Gets an Upgrade
The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) dark matter experiment, which operates nearly a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, has already proven to be the most sensitive detector in the hunt for dark matter. Now, a new set of calibration techniques employed by LUX scientists has again dramatically improved the detector’s sensitivity. Read More »
