📷 Then & Now: Construction of Bevatron and IGB
1949 » 2018: A view of the Bevatron particle accelerator facility under construction in 1949 and the 2018 construction of our Integrative Genomics Building, set to open this year. View more photos here.
#Then&Now 1943 » 2018
The flag still flies over Bowles Hall as you look west towards UC Berkeley, The Campanile, and the City of Berkeley from an area close to our Blackberry Gate entrance. See more photos from our Then & Now series here » http://bit.ly/TIMEmachine http://bit.ly/TIMEmachine
When Stars Collide: 3D Computer Simulation Captures Cosmic Event
Using supercomputing resources at NERSC, an international team has captured the collision of two neutron stars in a 3D computer model for the first time.
Scientists and Industry Team to Mass-Produce Detectors for Cosmic Experiment
Chasing clues about the infant universe in relic light known as the cosmic microwave background, or CMB, Berkeley Lab scientists are devising more elaborate and ultrasensitive detector arrays to measure the properties of this light with increasing precision.
Transportation — The Lab Has a Program. You Play a Part.
It’s no secret that parking on the hill is tough, and as we continue to grow with new opportunities for scientific and infrastructure development, it’s going to get tougher. While that growth is exciting, it also means more construction, people, and vehicles. Share your suggestions. https://stratcomm-elements.lbl.gov/2019/01/17/transportation-the-lab-has-a-program-you-play-a-part/
Registration Ongoing for JGI’s Next Microbial Genomics & Metagenomics Workshop
There are still spaces left for JGI’s Feb. 25 to March 1 MGM Workshop in Walnut Creek. The hands-on workshop is designed to familiarize users with the Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes (IMG/M) suite of tools.
Introducing the Urban Systems Group
A new research team at Berkeley Lab brings together a multidisciplinary group of experts to explore ways to make our cities more efficient. The Urban Systems group will focus on buildings and their interactions with the urban environment.
