12-Aug-2024 Studying loss to make quantum computing gains DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory Scientists from Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a systematic approach to understanding how energy is lost from the materials that make up qubits. Energy loss inhibits the performance of these quantum computer building blocks, so determining its sources — and adjusting the materials as necessary — can help bring researchers closer to designing quantum computers that could revolutionize several scientific fields. With their new approach, the Yale scientists were able to design a compact device that could store quantum information for more than one millisecond. Journal Nature Communications

1-Aug-2024 Experiment on photosynthesis by scientists at PNNL headed to the space station DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory As launch time draws near, PNNL scientists are eager to explore how plants might grow in space, where the effect of gravity is substantially weaker.
1-Aug-2024 Five ORNL researchers complete pilot commercialization coaching program DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Five researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently completed an eight-week pilot commercialization coaching program as part of Safari, a program funded by DOE’s Office of Technology Transitions, or OTT, Practices to Accelerate the Commercialization of Technologies, or PACT.
1-Aug-2024 Energy I-Corps steeps scientists in the world of business, commercialization DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Energy I-Corps pairs teams of researchers, often with no business background or knowledge, with industry mentors through an immersive two-month training program where the scientists define their technology’s value propositions, conduct stakeholder discovery interviews and develop viable market pathways. Two ORNL teams participated in Cohort 18, which concluded in March, helping commercialize the fruits of their research.
1-Aug-2024 Thea Vijaya Kumar coordinates mechanical cooling systems for EIC DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory What do a particle collider and a human have in common? Not much. But both have parts that need to be kept within a certain temperature range to function properly. It’s a phenomenon mechanical engineer Thea Vijaya Kumar knows well. She designs systems to keep people and machines cool — a cool job in every sense of the word. Her current focus is on meeting that goal, and how to do it efficiently, for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Funder DOE/US Department of Energy
