After the laboratory was scooped on a number of fundamental discoveries that they felt they ought to have made, the "cyclotroneers" began to collaborate more closely with the department's theoretical physicists, led by Robert Oppenheimer. The lab moved to its site on the hill above campus in 1940 as its machines, specifically the 184-inch (4.67m) cyclotron, became too large for the university grounds.

Berkeley Lab Aerial Tour
Tour Berkeley Lab from above in this video, which uses drone footage taken at the Lab in 2020. The video shows the historic, domed Advanced Light Source building that appears in the lab logo; the Molecular Foundry that encompasses nanoscience research; Shyh Wang Hall, which houses the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) supercomputers; the rotating FLEXLAB building, which is a test bed for energy efficiency in buildings; and the Integrative Genomics Building, which has a focus on plant and microbial genomics research and is the newest addition to the more than 100 buildings on the Lab’s 200-acre site.

Berkeley Lab: What’s in a Name?
The Lawrence Lab? The Berkeley Lab? Lawrence Livermore Berkeley Lab? Luther Burbank Laboratory? Berkeley Countrywide Laboratory? Nope. Not quite. We're Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab for short. But we do understand the confusion -- it's hard to remember names, especially when so many sound alike! So we jammed 90 years of history into less than 3 minutes to help you get it right.

"Nanoscale Materials Science" by Paul Alivisatos (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)
Tools like SLAC's Linac Coherent Light Source are enabling scientists to more fully discern and understand the different properties that emerge when particles are made very, very small, said Paul Alivasatos, director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, at the Aug. 24, 2012, scientific symposium commemorating the 50th anniversary of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Alivisatos described how our growing knowledge of nanoparticle behavior has had particular benefits in energy science and artificial photosynthesis.
Nanoparticles have lower melting temperatures than their corresponding bulk materials, for example, which can lead to more convenient and energy-efficient processing. They can also spring back from large-volume changes that would fracture larger structures, potentially...

Rinse and Repeat: An Easy New Way to Recycle Batteries is Here
We are rapidly running out of the ingredients for Li-ion batteries, but demand is only accelerating. We need to reuse the valuable components including nickel and cobalt, but recycling batteries is difficult. Berkeley Lab scientists have invented a material that solves these issues, making the process to extract the ingredients for reuse easy, economical, and environmentally friendly.
