Magnetic Whirlpools Multiply Memory

Research at the Advanced Light Source promises four-bit magnetic cells instead of the two-bit domains of standard magnetic memories. Four different spin orientations could double the information in today’s computer memories »

An 'Artificial Forest' for Solar Water-Splitting

Berkeley Lab researchers have created the first fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem. While "artificial leaf" is the popular term for such a system, the key to this success was an "artificial forest." »

Go Behind the Scenes at the Lab's Mechanical Fabrication Facility

Through a combination of skilled craftsmanship and precision equipment, Berkeley Lab's fabrication facility produces unique tools essential to the Lab's scientific mission.

Berkeley Lab's IT Division held their 2nd annual Education Outreach day for the Berkeley Unified School District. Lab volunteers helped second-graders from LeConte Elementary School learn about computers and networking using a hands-on approach--by taking computer components apart and putting them back together again.
