Researchers who invent a new technology may not have […]

The Lab’s mission, to bring science solutions to the world, often means working to license technologies to industry, directly collaborating with industry, or spinning out entrepreneurial ventures.  Three scientists who are working to bring their innovations to the market shared their perspectives and tips with the Lab community: Marcos Turqueti, an electronics staff engineer in […]

As part of its efforts to bring innovative technologies to the world, the Lab offers significant resources for entrepreneurs that Lab researchers can access: Innovation Corps (I-Corps) and I-Corps Lite – The Department of Energy offers a two-month “customer discovery” training program to help researchers define technology value propositions, conduct stakeholder discovery interviews, and develop […]

With recent updates related to COI, the Research Compliance Office (RCO) would like to share a reminder of the basics: What are my financial interests? Everyone should know their own financial interests and recuse themselves from participating in any LBNL decision involving those financial interests. Do I need prior approval to engage in outside work? […]

Cyclotron Road is an important Berkeley Lab service that offers expertise and capabilities from across the Lab to science entrepreneurs, to help them accelerate the commercialization of their game-changing energy technologies. The first of the DOE’s four Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Programs (LEEP), it has been housed in the Energy Technologies Area (ETA) for the past seven […]

The annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting is a tradition during which Nobel laureates gather and interact with early career scientists, sharing research and enjoying discussions about science and other topics. The meeting in 2021 was virtual, but this year the scientists were able to meet in person in Lindau, Germany from June 26 to July […]

Last November, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a new goal to remove gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and durably store it for less than $100/ton of net CO2-equivalent. The “Carbon Negative Shot,” the third target within DOE’s Energy Earthshots Initiative, is the U.S. government’s first major effort in carbon dioxide […]

If you’ve noticed more new faces onsite or in Zoom calls, it could be because the summer interns are here! June 6 marked the beginning of Workforce Development and Education (WD&E)’s summer term. WD&E hosts and facilitates all of the Lab’s Department of Energy’s Office of Science internship programs, as well as additional internships across […]

Trust is one of the Lab’s Stewardship values. According to our Stewardship website, “We strive to earn the trust of the public, the scientific community, our stakeholders, and each other by safeguarding our record of excellence, integrity, safety, openness, reliability, and accountability.” Our reputation has been built brick by brick over the decades upon a […]
