We’re hashtag#hiring a Science Writer! ✍️🔬
Do you live for the "Aha!" moment in a research paper? We’re looking for a storyteller to join the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab team.
If you’re passionate about making complex science accessible and engaging, we want to hear from you.
PhD student Sophie Hanson used the @als.lbl.gov to get detailed 3D images of the hydraulic structures in jumping spider legs. This incredible biomechanical system gives the tiny creatures huge power (proportionately🕷️)!
What will you discover at a DOE Office of Science user facility?
Today’s #quantum technologies are built on decades of research. @nobelprize.org–winning work by Berkeley Lab scientist John Clarke helped pave the way for superconducting qubits, now a leading approach in #QuantumComputing.
#DiscoveryToDelivery
Three Berkeley Lab scientists—Blake Simmons, Abby Dernburg, and Felix Fischer—have been elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, one of the highest honors for scientists, engineers, and innovators.
A wall comes to life, layer by layer.
This time-lapse shows more than a wall feature. It shows how environmental systems come together through collaboration, design, and work you don’t usually see.
#BioEPIC #Bioscience #LivingDesign
New QIS cluster tool at LBNL speeds search for materials used in superconducting qubits and other #quantum devices helping researchers test dozens of recipes to improve quantum tech. newscenter.lbl.gov/2026/02/11/a-robot-pizza...
