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.

Physics major Ana Lyons is creating posters of influential Black physicists in response to the recent plan of action agenda item to "raise the visibility of Black voices both in the Physics Department and in the field as a whole." Her motivation for making these posters was to contribute in some small way to that goal.

The largest collaborative undertaking yet to explore the relic light emitted by the infant universe has taken a step forward.

An international group of more than 260 scientists has produced one of the most stringent tests to date for the existence of sterile neutrinos

Three scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy&s Office of Science to receive significant funding for research through its Early Career Research Program (ECRP).

On the road less traveled
A Black physicist's journey in academia

Borrowing a page from high-energy physics and astronomy textbooks, a team of physicists and computer scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has successfully adapted and applied a common error-reduction technique to the field of quantum computing.
