You merely adopted the dark 🦇

Our accelerator was born in the dark, more than 20ft underground. When we introduced upgrades like the RF Gun and Low Energy Beamline, (two components built by @BerkeleyLab) this is how they were lowered down into the Sector 0 Equipment Hatch.

Random heat fluctuations usually limit computing efficiency. But what if that same noise could help power computation?

A new study explores thermodynamic computing—an emerging approach to more efficient computing. https://t.co/KyA1AbXSS1

.@CCSTorg has released their most recent report featuring impacts made by California federal labs.

From the development of energy efficient windows to the bioeconomy, Berkeley Lab is helping make our local community, state & nation more resilient. Details ⬇️

[CCST @CCSTorg]

CA's national labs have made some of the biggest breakthroughs of our time: fusion energy, quantum computing, climate data, and the Artemis mission.

CCST's 2025 Impact Report shows how that expertise connects to CA policymakers and communities.

For the first time, researchers simultaneously use ultrafast X-rays and electrons to image a shockwave in water, a “multi-messenger” view that reveals details previous experiments couldn’t see.
