“IceCube grew out of ideas developed in the early 1960s,” says @berkeleylab's Spencer Klein -- who worked on IceCube alongside Francis Halzen starting in the 2000s. “It’s worked far better than we could ever have expected when we were getting started.” https://t.co/s3MjVfCdGS

"Gravity is probably discrete, measured like electromagnetism, but what else could happen is a shockingly difficult question to answer," says @berkeleylab's Daniel Carney. https://t.co/YDc6anMqKD

“The holy grail of particle physics is to search and find things that disagree with the Standard Model,” says @BerkeleyLab's Aaron Manalaysay. “And dark matter is one of those, and that motivates everyone.”

Berkeley Lab’s cyclotron changed more than physics, it helped invent team science. Ernest O. Lawrence’s collaborative model became a blueprint for @ENERGY’s national laboratories. #Freedom250 #DOE

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

World’s most advanced gamma-ray detector is ready for science! Researchers will use the newly commissioned Gamma-Ray Energy Tracking Array, GRETA, to explore how stars form heavy elements and test the limits of the nucleus. @LBNLnuclearsci @michiganstateu https://t.co/SQDLq70uS4

“Someday future progress might enable more compact and efficient neutron generators, which have all kinds of applications, like cargo screening, planetary science, and medical therapy and imaging," says @BerkeleyLab's Arun Persaud. #fusion https://t.co/Al3cuSjhTs

[Berkeley Lab @BerkeleyLab]

At low energies, material around a fusion reaction isn’t just a container—it can change how often fusion occurs. @LBNLatap and @ucdavis researchers say the finding could guide neutron-source materials. #fusion https://t.co/4UI9gjmqH8
