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,…

Toward a disease-sniffing device that rivals a dog’s nose
By David L. Chandler | MIT News Office Numerous studies have shown that trained dogs can detect many kinds of disease — including lung, breast, ovarian, bladder and prostate cancers, and possibly Covid-19 — simply through smell. In some cases, involving prostate cancer for example, the dogs had a 99% success rate in detecting the…

Nanowire could provide a stable, easy-to-make superconducting transistor
By Daniel Ackerman | MIT News Office Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity without resistance — are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only at the atomic level. Beyond their physical peculiarity, superconductors are also useful. They’re found in medical imaging, quantum computers and cameras used with telescopes.…

Study reveals platinum’s role in clean fuel conversion
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University (SBU) and other collaborating institutions have uncovered dynamic, atomic-level details of how an important platinum-based catalyst works in the water gas shift reaction. This reaction transforms carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H2O) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen gas (H2) — an…

R&D 100 winner of the day: Multi-burn Solid Rocket: Revolutionizing heritage technology to solve emerging space problems
For low-cost small satellites to tackle emerging commercial, scientific and national security missions they need to be capable of maneuvering while still being compatible with rideshare. To responsibly manage our ever more crowded orbit zones into the future, all satellites will soon be required to de-orbit at end-of-life and avoid collisions with space debris at…
