DOE is now accepting proposals for the Fiscal Year 2022 Office of Science Early Career Research Program (ECRP). This highly prestigious program supports early career researchers at DOE national laboratories with up to $2.5 million over five years to pursue their research. To be eligible for the competition at the Lab, a researcher must be […]

For the last few decades, society has enjoyed exponential gains in semiconductor performance, known as Moore’s Law. But this acceleration in computing power may be coming to an end, and further significant progress in semiconductor innovation requires fundamental research. The DOE has recognized that it is time to redesign the innovation process for the microelectronics […]

This last July, three Lab scientists rubbed virtual elbows with Nobel Laureates from around the world at this year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting. Lindsay Bassman (CSA), Marlene Turner (PSA), and Michael Whitaker (EESA), participated in the event from June 27 to July 2, as part of a UC program. They came away with new knowledge […]

  When our work “with campus” is mentioned, most people think about our strong partnership with the University of California, Berkeley. Our relationship with UC Berkeley is extensive and deep, benefiting greatly from the campus’’s geographic proximity to the Lab and its role in the Lab’s founding and research over our 90 year history. It’s […]

NIH has updated its funding application and RPPR progress report forms and instructions to provide full transparency and disclosure of all research activities, foreign and domestic. These requirements apply to all funding applications and RPPRs due on or after May 25, 2021. Starting January 2022, applications and reports that do not meet these requirements will […]

Congratulations to Lab postdocs Lindsay Bassman (CSA), Marlene Turner (PSA), and research scientist Michael Whittaker (EESA) for being selected as participants in this year’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, as part of the UC President’s Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Fellowship program. They will attend virtual lectures and interactive sessions with 40 Nobel laureates around the world […]

Computing technology is evolving at light speed, as are the computing needs of the Lab’s research community. 5G and artificial intelligence, for example, are already redefining how research is conducted in some fields. As well, the deep collaborations between computational scientists, technology providers, and scientific staff, have continued to raise the bar for our technology […]
