Accelerating discovery with AI and automation at Berkeley Lab
The teams and facilities of Berkeley Lab are powering a new era of discovery, combining artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced data processing into integrated systems of rapid discovery.
Indian scientists find ‘quantum fingerprint’ for exotic materials
Scientists at the Raman Research Institute have made a breakthrough in quantum materials by discovering a novel method to identify a key property called a topological invariant—an unchanging characteristic even when a material is deformed. This property is essential for understanding the unusual behaviors of topological materials, which are foundational to future technologies like quantum […]
Smart phonon control boosts efficiency in eco-friendly thermoelectric material
Researchers have significantly improved the efficiency of β-Zn₄Sb₃, a thermoelectric material that converts waste heat into electricity, without using rare or costly elements. This tellurium-free compound was studied using advanced neutron scattering techniques, revealing that tiny heat vibrations—called phonons—were being disrupted by “rattling” atoms within the crystal structure. This effect, known as phonon avoided crossing, […]
