In six of the seven facilities of the Molecular Foundry scientists at benches or instruments are hard at work creating and characterizing nanoscale materials. Sandwiched in between those levels of laboratories is a different kind of lab — computing — with a workspace of offices and cubicles.
For the International Year of the Periodic Table, we’re asking scientists what is the one element that inspires them. If it weren’t for carbon, Frances Houle, a senior staff scientist, says she would’ve been an English major! Do you have a favorite element? Tweet @BerkeleyLab with #MyFaveElement.
Berkeley Lab, RIKEN, and UC Berkeley are co-hosting a workshop on quantum information science that focuses on the development of quantum computing techniques, quantum materials, and quantum sensing, as well as their applications to physical sciences.
