Next-generation tech for biofuels refining

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Helping to strengthen the economic viability of biorefineries in the production of alternative fuels derived from biomass is critical to decreasing the use of fossil fuels and mitigating carbon dioxide emissions.

Solving 'barren plateaus' is the key to quantum machine learning

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Many machine learning algorithms on quantum computers suffer from the dreaded "barren plateau" of unsolvability, where they run into dead ends on optimization problems.

New perovskite fabrication method for solar cells paves way to large-scale production

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new, simpler solution process for fabricating stable perovskite solar cells overcomes the key bottleneck to large-scale production and commercialization of this promising renewable-energy technology, which has remained tantalizingly out of reach for more than a decade.

Two-week summer physics camp for young women in New Mexico

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

New Mexico students are encouraged to apply for the free, two-week, virtual Summer Physics Camp for Young Women, taught primarily by women scientists and engineers at Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Modeling the probability of methane hydrate deposits on the seafloor

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have developed a new system to model the likelihood of finding methane hydrate and methane gas that was tested in a region of seafloor off the coast of North Carolina.

New machine harnesses Earth's magnetic field to detect chemicals

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

A Los Alamos National Laboratory-designed spectroscopy instrument allows scientists, industry, and governments to decipher even trace amounts of chemicals using the Earth's own magnetic field.

Rare open-access quantum computer now operational

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories
Business Announcement

A new Department of Energy open-access quantum computing testbed is ready for the public. Scientists from Indiana University recently became the first team to begin using Sandia National Laboratories' Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed, or QSCOUT.

SuperCam sends first data back to Earth from the Perseverance Mars Rover

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Following the successful landing of NASA's Perseverance rover in Jezero Crater on Mars, the SuperCam operational teams at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) received the first results showing that SuperCam is in good health and giving its first impressions of the crater.
