Emilio #Segrè​ and Glenn #Seaborg at #Berkeley Lab during the @kron4tv filming of the TV show, "Wide, Wide World." Produced 10/08/1957 . . . Emilio Segrè was an #Italian #physicist and #Nobel laureate who discovered the elements #technetium and #astatine, and the antiproton, a sub-atomic antiparticle, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in #Physics in 1959. . . . Glenn Seaborg was an #American chemist whose involvement in the synthesis, discovery and investigation of ten #transuranium #elements earned him a share of the 1951 Nobel Prize in #Chemistry. . . . #photooftheday #throwbackthursday #tbt #science #nobelprize #periodictable #history

From our labs to your homes, #HappyHolidays! 🔬🔭
#Goodmorning and Happy #WinterSolstice! Today's #view comes from #ShyhWang Hall at #Berkeley Lab. It is currently home to our National Energy #Research Scientific Computing Center (aka #NERSC), one of the world’s leading #supercomputing centers for open #science which serves nearly 6,000 researchers in the #US and abroad. #supercomputer #data #hpc #hpcmatters #theview #photooftheday #cityscape #clouds #bayarea #norcal #california #nationallab #lablife #viewoftheday #sanfrancisco #goldengatebridge
There's a screen for that! Our Cyber Liability Engineers monitor #NERSC (aka National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center), from inside the control room at #Berkeley Lab. . . . As one of the largest facilities in the world devoted to providing computational resources and expertise for basic scientific research, NERSC is a world leader in accelerating scientific discovery through computation. NERSC is a division of Berkeley Lab. It is also one of three divisions in the Berkeley Lab #Computing Sciences area, housed in the #ShyhWang Hall computational research and theory facility. The Energy Sciences Network (#ESnet), another national user facility, and the Computational Research Division (CRD) are the other two. . . . #science #technology #supercomputer #nationallab #doe #california
New #graphene-based system could be key to seeing electrical signaling in the #heart and #brain. The ability to visually depict the strength and motion of very faint electrical fields could aid in the development of so-called lab-on-a-chip devices that use very small quantities of fluids on a #microchip-like platform to diagnose #disease or aid in #drug #development. This animation from our release shows the appearance and dissipation of an electric field recorded using the CAGE system. The strength of the field is color-coded, with yellow showing the strongest peak and dark blue showing the weakest #measure. . . . #science #health #berkeley #california #gifoftheday (Get the full story via the link to our News Center in our bio) @ucberkeley @stanford

Simon Teat, a #Berkeley Lab staff #scientist, is shown here at the #AdvancedLightSource’s Beamline 11.3.1, which specializes in structural studies of crystallized #chemical samples using #Xrays. This #beamline was used to study the structure of glowing #crystals designed to detect and trap heavy #metals. The recent public health hazards from drinking #water #toxins found in #Flint, MI and #Newark, NJ motivated scientists to develop tiny traps for removing #mercury and #lead. #berklab #lablife #biophysics #bioimaging #science #california
THE HEAT IS ON - #Aerogels are the lightest existing solid #materials--in fact an ounce of #aerogel has the surface area of 10 #football fields--and they have exceptional #insulating properties. @BerkeleyLab #scientists are studying aerogels great potential in a wide range of applications including #energyefficient insulation and #windows, #acoustics, #battery 🔋 technology and #microelectronics. 📷 #photooftheday #science #berkeley #california
#Postdoc #researcher Louise Lassalle (from left), #research #scientist Jan Kern and research assistant Lacey Douthit work on growing #cyanobacteria to isolate photosystem II #proteins in a #Berkeley Lab bioreactor. Understanding how this process works could lead to a revolution in the #development of #artificial #photosynthesis and #solar #fuels. #berklab #lablife #biophysics #bioimaging #science #california
