A multidisciplinary team led by Jefferson Lab and including imec, NY CREATES, and Cornell University has been selected by DOE to advance a superconducting approach to advanced computer chip technology. The team will explore concepts to use new superconducting materials and structures in ultra-energy-efficient Superconducting Digital (SCD) electronics aimed at emerging artificial intelligence and quantum computing technologies.

Today, the City of Newport News announced the transfer of the Applied Research Center to Jefferson Lab and the Department of Energy. The announcement was made in a ribbon-tying ceremony for the building. Renovation work on the ARC is planned over the next four years.

Jefferson Lab nuclear physicist Alexandre Deur has been named an American Physical Society Fellow for the study of the spin structure of the nucleon.

A team of scientists from Jefferson Lab and the University of Virginia have turned to machine learning in the quest to streamline beam tuning on the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility – and reduce accelerator downtime. The two-year project grew out of Jefferson Lab’s Laboratory Directed Research and Development program and was recently awarded $1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Jefferson Lab and Old Dominion University are launching a unique joint institute that will leverage the lab’s specialties in data science and computing in an effort to tackle the most pressing problems and disparities at the intersection of health and the environment in Hampton Roads. 

The U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is proud to announce nine new graduate fellowships for the 2023-2024 academic year, thanks to ongoing funding from Jefferson Science Associates. These fellowships offer students a unique opportunity to collaborate with leading nuclear physicists at Jefferson Lab and pursue advanced studies at their respective universities.

The U.S. Department of Energy has just announced the selection of Jefferson Lab as the lead site for its new High Performance Data Facility. Partnering with Berkeley Lab, the HPDF will be a $300+ million computing facility that will provide transformational capabilities for data analysis, networking and storage for the nation’s research enterprise. It will provide researchers with tools, methods and technologies to maximize the scientific value of data.

Jefferson Lab joins four other scientific research institutions in a collaborative research project that aims to measure the lifetime of spin polarization in particles used to fuel nuclear fusion. Here’s a look at Jefferson Lab’s role in the joint venture.
