New Model to Help Predict CO₂ Reservoir Stability
A new modelling tool aims to reveal what happens when carbon dioxide from fossil-fuels is pumped into saline aquifers, a key strategy for mitigating global warming. Read More »
Rising Sea Levels Due to Global Warming Are Unstoppable
The greenhouse gases already added to our atmosphere ensure a certain amount of sea level rise to come, even if future emissions are reduced. Read More »
Throwing a Lifeline to Scientists Drowning in Data
New computational techniques developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) may help save scientists from drowning in their own data. Computational scientists at the Lab have figured out how to streamline the analysis of enormous scientific datasets. Read More »
Physics of Intrinsic Plasma Rotation Explained for First Time
Scientists have taken another step towards fusion energy with research that uncovers why plasmas sometimes spontaneously rotate in their donut shaped pots, called tokamaks. Read More »
ESnet’s On-Demand Bandwidth Reservation Service Wins R&D 100 Award
ESnet's innovative bandwidth-sharing service, OSCARS 0.6, was recognized as one of R&D Magazine's top 100 technologies of 2013. Read More »
Thriving Tundra Bushes Add Fuel to Northern Thaw
Carbon-gobbling plants are normally allies in the fight to slow climate change, but in the frozen north, the effects of thriving vegetation may actually push temperatures higher. Read More »
Development of Advanced Materials Get Boost
The Materials Project—an open-access Google-like database for materials research developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and MIT—is working with Intermolecular, Inc. to enhance the tool’s modeling capabilities and thus accelerate the speed of new material development by tenfold or more over conventional approaches.

Unusual Supernova is Doubly Unusual for Being Perfectly Normal
The Berkeley Lab-led Nearby Supernova Factory has built a benchmark atlas for normal Type Ia's, thanks to the "Backyard Supernova" it uncovered in 2011. Read More »
Cloud Computing Saves L.A.-sized Power Bill, Study Finds
A six-month study led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) with funding from Google has found that moving common software applications used by 86 million U.S. workers to the cloud could save enough electricity annually to power Los Angeles for a year. Read More »
Trillion Particle Simulation on Hopper Supercomputer Honored with Best Paper
An unprecedented trillion-particle simulation, which used more than 120,000 processors and generated approximately 350 terabytes of data, pushed the performace capability of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center’s (NERSC’s) Cray XE6 “Hopper” supercomputer to its limits.
