Inside Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Advanced Light Source Upgrade

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (Berkeley Lab) Advanced Light Source produces bright beams of light used to study materials and molecules down to the atomic level. A state-of-the-art upgrade now underway will make that light not only brighter, but coherent: a property invisible to the naked eye, yet powerful enough to reveal atomic-scale anomalies in batteries, […]

New report identifies four moon sites for crewed missions to explore to advance scientific discovery

A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report recommends four sites for future crewed moon missions: Bhabha Crater, Mons Hadley, the Orientale Basin and the Aristarchus Plateau. Exploring these areas could help scientists better understand the moon’s history, the solar system and potential resources that could support future human exploration. “Exploring these lunar sites […]
