Reminder! If coming onsite to conduct experiments, you must register your arrival date 3 weeks (U.S. citizens) or 6 weeks (non-U.S. citizens) before your experiment to guarantee access. A calculator is now provided in ALSHub to show you how many weeks in advance you are requesting access. Read more »

March 6 Deadline for General User Proposals
The User Office is accepting new General User Proposals (GUPs) from scientists who wish to conduct research at the ALS in the 2024-2 (August–December) cycle. The deadline for submissions is March 6, 2024. Applicants are reminded that they may request joint access to the Molecular Foundry, a nanoscience user facility at Berkeley Lab, to support their ALS activities. Read more »
Flat Bands Signal Electrons Trapped in 3D
Researchers found flat electronic band structures—known hallmarks of electrons trapped in two dimensions—but in a material that extends this phenomenon to three dimensions. The work opens up a material framework for exploring superconductivity and other exotic states in three dimensions for advanced electronic applications. Read more »
Correlating Conformational Equilibria with Catalysis in the Electron Bifurcating EtfABCX of Thermotoga maritima
Anaerobic SEC-MALS-SAXS at the SIBYLS beamline probes the conformational states behind electron bifurcation in the Thermotoga maritima EtfABCX, revealing insights on mechanisms at the thermodynamic limits of life. Shown are the bifurcation- and electron-conducting-like states experimentally observed for the first time in solution. Read more »
Shaping the Water-Harvesting Behavior of Metal–Organic Frameworks Aided by Fine-Tuned GPT Models
The reticular design and synthesis of metal–organic frameworks enable the structures to be engineered at an atomic level, allowing their properties to be harmoniously harnessed. AI-assisted design of building units can reduce human labor in the enumeration and search for possible structures, thereby accelerating the discovery of MOFs. Read more »
LAAAMP-Funded Team Makes a Journey of Miles and Nanometers
Celline Awino Omondi and Miller Shatsala traveled over 9,400 miles to study samples at the nanometer scale. Through a LAAAMP grant, the Kenyan scientists spent two months at Berkeley Lab preparing and characterizing perovskite samples—work that they hope will bring solar energy to Africa. Read more »
Upcoming Operating Schedule Announced
The operating schedule for the 2024-1 cycle has been posted. The next long shutdown will begin in January 2024 and is expected to last 12 weeks. The most up-to-date information on the current schedule and future outlook can always be found on the Operating Schedule web page. Read more »
ALS Staff Honored with 2023 Berkeley Lab Director’s Awards
Several ALS staff were recognized by Berkeley Lab Director Mike Witherell at the annual Director’s Awards ceremony on November 8. They include Ashley White, Antoine Wojdyla, Kristin Carrillo, Celena Loredo, Alyssa Brand, and Tracy Mattox. Read more »
Tracking Platinum Movement on Fuel-Cell Electrodes
Researchers tracked the movement of the platinum nanoparticles that catalyze reactions in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and correlated this movement with nanoparticle degradation. The results yielded solutions that can immediately reduce platinum waste in emission-free heavy-duty fuel-cell vehicles. Read more »
New Guide for Gaining Access to the ALS
We are excited to introduce a new visual guide that describes the process of gaining access to the ALS. Discover how to submit your arrival date, see timelines and who processes the registration, and learn when to schedule a badge appointment. Check it out in the User Guide! Read more »
