Sensors of world's largest digital camera snap first 3,200-megapixel images at SLAC

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Business Announcement

Crews at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have taken the first 3,200-megapixel digital photos - the largest ever taken in a single shot - with an extraordinary array of imaging sensors that will become the heart and soul of the future camera of Vera C. Rubin Observatory.

New evidence for quantum fluctuations near a quantum critical point in a superconductor

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A study has found evidence for quantum fluctuations near a quantum critical point in a superconductor. Theory suggests that these quantum critical points may be analogous to black holes as places where all sorts of strange phenomena can exist in a quantum material.

Lab researcher and physics undergrad shares poster project honoring black physicists

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Inspired by the nation's grappling with issues of race and racial discrimination, UC Berkeley physics major and Berkeley Lab student assistant Ana Lyons turned to art as a way to contribute to the conversation.

SLAC and Stanford join Q-NEXT national quantum center

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Q-NEXT will bring together nearly 100 world-class researchers from three national laboratories, 10 universities and 10 leading US technology companies with the single goal of developing the science and technology to control and distribute quantum information. These activities, along with a focus on rapid commercialization of new technologies, will support the emerging 'quantum economy' and ensure that the US remains at the forefront in this rapidly advancing field.

New $115 million center to pioneer quantum technologies for discovery science

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

The Berkeley Lab-led center will forge the technological solutions needed to harness quantum information science for discoveries that benefit the world. It will also energize the nation's research community to ensure US leadership in quantum R&D and accelerate the transfer of technologies from the lab to the marketplace.

Some of America's favorite produce crops may need to get a move on by 2045

DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) shows that by the years 2045-2049 future temperatures will have more of an effect on when cool-season crops, such as broccoli and lettuce, can be grown than on where, while for warm-season crops (cantaloupe, tomatoes, carrots) the impact will be greater for where they can be grown versus when.

A new X-ray detector snaps 1,000 atomic-level pictures per second of nature's ultrafast processes

DOE/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

A new generation of X-ray detectors developed at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, called ePix10k, can take up to 1,000 of these snapshots per second - almost 10 times more than previous generations - to make more efficient use of light sources that fire thousands of X-ray flashes per second.
