Using Fiber Optics to Advance Safe and Renewable Energy

April 6, 2020

Berkeley Lab is working to address barriers to more widespread deployment of offshore wind in California, where floating wind turbines could be a viable option.  (Credit: SarahGower/iStock) Fiber optic cables, it turns out, can be incredibly useful scientific sensors. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have studied them for use in carbon sequestration, groundwater…

Earlier Spring Foliage Brings Warmer Air to the North

March 23, 2020

This article originally was published by the Computing Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab. Read below, or here.   When bright green leaves start appearing and the scent of fragrant spring blossoms fills the air, we know the darker days of winter are behind us and the full bloom of spring is near. But every year…

CEC Funds Research into How Wind Turbines Impact Wildlife

March 2, 2020

A project led by Yuxin Wu has been awarded a $2 million grant by the California Energy Commission’s Electric Program Investment Charge. He will lead research over about three years into using fiber optic sensing for real-time monitoring of how wind turbine failures, particularly in California’s earthquake-prone coastal regions, impact marine animals. Learn more about…

EGD Scientists Contribute Expertise About DOE Underground Research Laboratories

February 28, 2020

A number of countries have operated underground research laboratories (URLs) in different types of potential host rocks to support the development of deep geologic repositories for the disposal of radioactive waste. URLs enable research and development (R&D) activities to be conducted under subsurface conditions and at scales relevant to repository environments. Since 2012, the U.S.…

Berkeley Lab-CSUEB Internship Collaboration Is Changing Lives

February 28, 2020

    Brenda Delgadillo Moreno felt she couldn’t afford to work as an unpaid intern while an undergraduate student at Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB)–as much as she knew it would help her future science career. Then last spring she was juggling full-time administrative work in the university registrar’s office with starting her master’s…

Faculty scientist Jill Banfield authors paper on huge bacteria-eating viruses

February 26, 2020

Jill Banfield, a UC Berkeley professor and EESA faculty scientist, co-led a team to discover 351 different huge bacteria-eating phages. One of these is the largest bacteriophage known to date with a genome that at 735,000 pairs long, is nearly 15 times longer than the average phage. According to UC Berkeley, university researchers and their collaborators…
