The Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Science has selected 80 graduate students representing 27 states for the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program’s 2021 Solicitation 2 cycle.
-
On April 14, scientists, engineers, students, and science enthusiasts celebrated World Quantum Day.
-
Quantum information science (QIS) is an emerging field of discovery and technology that offers tremendous potential—from quantum computers with powerful new capabilities to networks of ultrasensitive quantum sensors. QIS is on the mind of many scientists, engineers, and tech entrepreneurs.

I won the Early Career Research Program Award shortly after I transitioned from postdoc to staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
-
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a plan to provide $84 million for new observational, modeling, and simulation studies to improve the accuracy of community-scale climate research and inform equitable climate solutions to minimize adverse impacts caused by climate change.
-
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10 million in funding for projects in artificial intelligence (AI) research for High Energy Physics.
-
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a plan to provide up to $50 million to support U.S. scientists conducting experimental research in fusion energy science at tokamak and spherical tokamak facilities in the U.S. and around the globe.
-
The ScienceTiny quantum computing processors built from silicon have finally surpassed 99 percent fidelity in certain logic operations ("gates”).
-
Nuclear scientists create the hottest matter in the universe by colliding nuclei at almost the speed of light. At such high temperatures, almost a million times hotter than the Sun, nuclear matter melts into a soup of subatomic particles called quarks and gluons.
-
Isobars are two different elements that have the same total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) but a different mix of these particles.
-
The quest for thermoelectric materials that efficiently convert changes in temperature into electric voltage is challenging.
-
In nature, microbial communities contain multiple species of bacteria.
-
Unlike subatomic particles, quasiparticles are not actually particles.
-
Small businesses are the backbones of our communities and neighborhoods, making up 99% of all firms in the U.S. and creating two out of every three new jobs in the private sector.
-
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced plans to provide $1.5 million for new grants to colleges and universities that are underrepresented in DOE’s climate, Earth, and environmental science investments to help provide technical assistance to build capacity and achieve the goal of broadening institutional participation.
-
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards totaling $110 million for diverse small businesses in 27 states.
-
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $150 million in open funding for research projects focused on increasing efficiency and curbing carbon emissions from energy technologies and manufacturing.
-
Low temperature chemistry (LTC) is a special set of reactions that take place at what chemists consider relatively low temperatures: roughly 400-700 Kelvin (260-800 degrees F).
-
In nature, DNA contains the instructions for the cells that allow life to grow, thrive, and reproduce. Researchers see great potential in DNA for its ability to direct assemble of a wide range of customized artificial materials.
-
Lasers are often used to look at objects in microscopes. But even the best laser has “quantum noise” that makes a picture blurry and hides the details.
