Next Friday 12/6, don't miss the final installment of our fall webinar series. Carbon dioxide represents the major waste product in the manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors. In this workshop, experts on carbon conversion will discuss their research and the challenges facing widespread adoption of new conversion technologies. Hanna Breunig (Berkeley Lab): "Electrochemical refineries for ethylene production via oxidative coupling of methane" Marta Hatzell (George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering): "Bipolar Membrane Electrolysis for Combined Carbon Capture and Conversion" Feng Jiao (Washington University McKelvey School of Engineering): "CO2 Electrolysis Systems for Chemical and Food Production" Facilitated by Boston University's Sean Lubner and Emily Ryan. Co-hosted by IGS with Energy & Sustainable Technologies Lab and Boston University College of Engineering. https://lnkd.in/dt9-SdGJ 

Each year, the Irish Tatler recognizes the contributions of Irish women in a variety of categories, including media, literature, and business. Their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Award has previously been given to Niamh Donnelly, Patricia Scanlon, Linda Doyle, and others. Now in its 24th year, the Irish Tatler "Women of the Year" awards is the original and most respected platform for female achievement in Ireland. This year the 2024 STEM Award was presented to Berkeley Lab scientist Sinead Griffin. Congrats!!

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) scientists mapped how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts. https://lnkd.in/gHGM4zUN

A new study from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is one of the most stringent tests yet of general relativity and how #gravity behaves at cosmic scales. Read the latest: https://lnkd.in/gHGM4zUN

Last month, over 100 academics, researchers, industry experts, and national lab staff came together for Berkeley Lab’s Artificial Intelligence Science Summit (BLASS) to explore how AI can drive scientific discovery. Learn more: https://bit.ly/BLASS24 “The Bay Area is a global hub for AI and scientific research, with institutions like UC Berkeley, Stanford, and national labs such as Berkeley Lab, Lawrence Livermore, and SLAC working alongside tech giants like Google, Meta, and others.  With BLASS, we aimed to bring this expertise together in an intimate setting to spark conversation and foster collaborations that will tackle the complex scientific challenges shaping the future of research and innovation.” - N. Benjamin Erichson Erichson, BLASS Co-Organizer and a researcher in the Machine Learning and Analytics Group in Berkeley Lab’s Scientific Data Division. _________________________________________ cc: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science #AI #ArtificalIntelligence #MachineLearning #NeuralNetworks #ML #Science #Research #computerscience #datascience #HPC Ana Kupresanin Wahid Bhimji National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC)

“We are the first to directly observe this new #Quantum phase of an electron solid, the Wigner molecular crystal, which was quite unexpected,” says our Lab's Feng Wang. CC: The Quantum Insider
