Researchers engineered infinitely renewable plastics called poly(diketoenamine), or PDK, for the first time using bio-based ingredients.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Florida International University released research May 21 confirming that free radicals can react and form benzene under conditions that are prevalent in interstellar space.

Researchers used a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, X-ray device to gain insight into the process by which lithium-ion batteries, such as those found in electric vehicles, lose battery life over time.

UC Berkeley professor emeritus of chemistry and former director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, David Shirley died March 29 at the age of 87 due to age-related illnesses.

An international team of researchers has identified antibodies that could be used as preventative treatment for COVID-19.

Using X-ray imaging, a team of international researchers conducted a study at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, or Berkeley Lab, to investigate how one oil paint called “Soft Titanium White” and its chemical makeup may cause artwork to deteriorate over time.

A recent study conducted at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered a method to synthesize molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs.

The National Science Foundation granted the Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging, or STROBE, $24 million over a five year period. Researchers said that the cooperative efforts of experts in different fields, along with the diversity of resources and technologies accessible to participating institutions will enable more productive research.

Using an avant-garde X-ray technique, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers recently made the first direct measurements of liquid crystals’ molecular structure — marking possible performance improvements to liquid-crystal displays in smartphone and computer screens.

The UC Board of Regents appointed Michael Witherell, current vice chancellor for research at UC Santa Barbara, as director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on Thursday.
