Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed “multielement ink,” a semiconducting material that could make semiconductors more sustainable and affordable to manufacture.

Coca-Cola announced a research partnership last Friday with the Peidong Yang Research Group to develop technology for the conversion of air into sugar.

A team of UC Berkeley researchers was among three winners of NASA’s CO2 Conversion Challenge Tuesday after they successfully manufactured sugar from carbon dioxide, which could have practical applications for space exploration on Mars.

Five UC Berkeley researchers were elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS, for their contributions to a range of scientific fields.

On Sept. 7 at around 3 a.m., UC Berkeley energy and chemistry professor Peidong Yang received a phone call informing him that he won the 2020 Global Energy Prize for his research.

The Peidong Yang Group in the UC Berkeley College of Chemistry published a study revealing an advancement to efficiently produce oxygen from carbon dioxide and sunlight using both organic and inorganic components in a hybrid device.

The increasing demand for sustainable and renewable energy prompted the development and use of nanotechnology to harness solar power, according to the study, which was published in Nature Nanotechnology, a scientific journal, on Oct. 1.

Six campus faculty members were elected to the National Academy of Sciences, or NAS, one of the nation’s most prestigious scientific societies, according to a Tuesday NAS release.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley researchers recently discovered a more energy-efficient way to create nanoscale lasers with potential applications for rapidly transmitting large amounts of data in the future.

A UC Berkeley professor and three alumni were among 24 distinguished individuals who were awarded Tuesday this year’s MacArthur Fellowships, also known as “genius grants.”
