Researchers have channeled the universes earliest light known as the cosmic microwave background to solve a missing-matter mystery and learn new things about galaxy formation.

The U.S. Department of Energy has formally approved a key milestone in the High-Luminosity LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project being carried out at eight U.S. institutions, including the DOEs Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

A research team with participation by Berkeley Lab physicists has used artificial intelligence to identify more than 1,200 possible gravitational lenses

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) played a key role in an analysis of data from the worlds largest particle collider that found proof of rare, high-energy particle interactions in which matter was produced from light.

A team of researchers at LBNL (Berkeley Lab) used a quantum computer to successfully simulate an aspect of particle collisions that is typically neglected in high-energy physics experiments.
