To make this event more interesting, the district invites its STEM partners (including Berkeley Lab) to set up a table with a short, hands-on science activity. Read more »
In Memoriam: David Richardson, Retired ALS Accelerator Operator
The ALS community pays tribute to our colleague, David Richardson, who passed away in April 2026. David retired in 2021 after a 22-year tenure at Berkeley Lab, and here we share fond memories from the many people whose lives he touched. Read more »
American Science and Security Cloud: A Platform for AI
What is the American Science and Security Cloud? Data Platforms Program Lead Dylan McReynolds explains how the ALS is using this network of tools and helping build an even more robust platform. Read more »
Revealing the Electronic Signature of Unusual Magnetism
Experiments at the ALS showed how magnetic Co atoms sandwiched between TaS2 layers reshape the material’s electronic structure. Understanding how unusual magnetic order influences electron movements in new quantum material CoxTaS2 could guide its use in advanced quantum technologies based on spintronics and valleytronics.
