Quantum Systems Accelerator leads first “You Belong in Quantum” webinar
DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryThe Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), recently launched the “You Belong in Quantum Series!” in collaboration with the four other U.S. Department of Energy National QIS Research Centers. The initiative’s January 2024 webinar featured distinguished leaders in the field. The new series highlights QSA’s commitment to preparing the quantum workforce ahead of World Quantum Day on April 14.
João Barata awarded CERN fellowship
DOE/Brookhaven National LaboratoryJoão Barata, a physicist in the Nuclear Theory Group at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has received a fellowship at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. In October 2024, Barata will begin the three-year-long appointment in CERN’s Department of Theoretical Physics.

DOE/Pacific Northwest National LaboratoryRiding through: Researchers enhance reliability of electric vehicle charging
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryAmerican drivers have long been accustomed to quickly filling up at a gas station with plenty of fuel available, and electric vehicle drivers want their pit stops to mimic this experience. Driver uncertainty about access to charging during long trips remains a barrier to broader EV adoption, even as the U.S. strives to combat climate change by converting more drivers.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are working to make EV charging more resilient. After identifying the major challenges, ORNL researchers found solutions to address two key causes of charger failure — the first triggered by voltage shifts in the electric grid, and the other originating within the charger itself.
