Berkeley Lab researchers have demonstrated that the malignant activity of a cellular protein system strongly linked to breast cancer can arise from what essentially are protein traffic jams. »
Berkeley Lab scientists have created an atomic-scale structure of a bacterial ribosome attached to a molecule that controls its motion. Somewhere in its twists and turns could be a weakness that a new antibiotic can target. »
Berkeley Lab's new extreme-ultraviolet microscope will provide semiconductor companies with the means to push their chip-making technology to new levels of miniaturization and complexity. »
The Materials Project—an open-access Google-like database for materials research developed by Berkeley Lab 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. New materials are key to addressing challenges in energy, healthcare and national security. »
A study led by Lab researchers has found for the first time that thirdhand smoke—the noxious residue that clings to virtually all surfaces long after the secondhand smoke from a cigarette has cleared out—causes significant genetic damage in human cells. »
The Nearby Supernova Factory, led by Berkeley Lab, has analyzed the Backyard Supernova of August 2011 and shown that it is the gold standard for all Type Ia supernovae. »
