Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are leading a national effort to create self-improving AI tools that could solve major challenges in energy, health, and materials science. The Genesis Mission's ModCon program is building a foundation that helps researchers across the country make discoveries faster than ever before.
Scientists at UC Berkeley solved a 500-million-year mystery about how algae live inside coral cells, a discovery that could save dying reefs worldwide. The breakthrough came from a first-of-its-kind lab where corals spawn year-round instead of once annually.
Scientists can now transform massive X-ray datasets into 3D images in seconds instead of hours, thanks to a real-time connection between two major research facilities. This breakthrough is already helping researchers study everything from fuel cells to bird feathers with unprecedented speed.
Scientists just gave artificial intelligence a superpower it desperately needed: the ability to understand the invisible forces that hold matter together. This breakthrough could speed up the discovery of everything from better batteries to life-saving materials.
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab just launched an AI system that will dramatically speed up breakthroughs in energy, medicine, and materials science. The tool analyzes data from powerful microscopes in minutes instead of weeks.
A community program in Berkeley delivers over 70,000 nutritious meals yearly to 200 homebound seniors, powered entirely by neighbors volunteering just one hour per week. The city is now recruiting more volunteers who can walk, bike, or drive routes on weekday mornings.
A Berkeley neighborhood turned a simple block party into a grassroots experiment that could transform how their street works. By temporarily replacing speeding cars with bike lanes and safety features, residents proved safer streets are possible.
A Peace Corps volunteer built a school in rural Colombia in 1965. Now, her foundation is sending UC Berkeley students to continue that work.
After a month-long delay, Rocket Lab is launching a South Korean satellite designed to monitor natural disasters in near-real time. The mission represents a major step forward in protecting lives through better early warning systems.
A small rocket company is proving that innovation and persistence pay off, posting record revenue and securing enough work to last years. Rocket Lab's success shows how ambitious startups can compete with giants when they focus on solving real problems.
After decades of world-class research, New Mexico is finally converting its scientific brainpower into thriving businesses. Startups are now turning national lab innovations into solutions for wildfires, clean energy, and more.
India just announced plans to bring creative technology labs to 15,000 schools and 500 colleges, training the next generation for 2 million projected jobs in animation, gaming, and visual effects. The move turns a gaming industry setback into an opportunity for young creators nationwide.
