LaserNetUS High-Power Laser Consortium, including Berkeley Lab, receives $18M from the U.S. DOE
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy established LaserNetUS, a network of facilities operating ultrapowerful lasers. Organized and funded through DOE’s Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES), the new network was created to provide vastly improved access to unique lasers for researchers, and to help restore the U.S.’s once-dominant position in high-intensity laser research. Now,…

Perovskite Solar Cells
by Avery Luedtke, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, MilliporeSigma, 6000 N. Teutonia Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53209 Perovskite Solar Cells Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are photovoltaic (PV) devices containing a light-absorbing layer that has the general formula AMX3,[1] and a crystal structure similar to the mineral perovskite (CaTiO3). The advantageous electronic and optical properties of perovskites have contributed…

Shine on: avalanching nanoparticles break barriers to imaging cells in real time
By Theresa Duque Since the earliest microscopes, scientists have been on a quest to build instruments with finer and finer resolution to image a cell’s proteins – the tiny machines that keep cells, and us, running. But to succeed, they need to overcome the diffraction limit, a fundamental property of light that long prevented optical microscopes…

Turbulence model could help design aircraft capable of handling extreme scenarios
By Kayla Wiles In 2018, passengers onboard a flight to Australia experienced a terrifying 10-second nosedive when a vortex trailing their plane crossed into the wake of another flight. The collision of these vortices, the airline suspected, created violent turbulence that led to a free fall. To help design aircraft that can better maneuver in…
