Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of @ENERGY

At the Genesis Mission Summit this summer, we shared major announcements—from our first RFA awards to new National Challenges. We also shared an inside look at the people, partnerships, and technology powering the Genesis Mission. Watch the video: piped.video/TobhuGA4W20?si=BTBi…

Need guts? Now you can 3D print more. Using additive manufacturing, @Livermore_Lab researchers have replicated the complex architecture of the small intestine on a microfluidic chip about the size of a microscope slide and grown human cells on it. livermorelab.info/47h9wXr

From concept to first light. 💡 Ground was broken in 1990 on Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS). Five years later, the APS produced its first X-rays, beginning a new era of discovery - anl.gov/our-history/timeline #Argonne80

Computers, whether quantum or classical, depend on algorithms. Quantum computing, however, needs a larger toolkit of standardized operations. @BrookhavenLab scientists and partners developed a quantum version of an important classical operation: bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…

Success isn’t simply measured by building the largest quantum computer—it’s measured by solving problems that are otherwise intractable. In my new blog, I share more on this science-first approach and what’s next. Read here: energy.gov/science/articles/…

The Trump administration has just announced the next bold step in advancing quantum computing into mainstream utility: the Q Competition under Quantum Genesis. Led by @ENERGY, this competition provides critical incentives to propel American scientists to create humanity’s first fault-tolerant, scientifically-relevant quantum computer. energy.gov/science/articles/…

Next year marks the 60th anniversary of Fermilab. Our story began with our first director, Robert Wilson. Wilson was a pioneering scientist whose vision for the lab laid the foundation for a complex that has powered decades of research. (1/)

For decades, space telescopes were built as exquisite, one-of-a-kind instruments. In the Big Ideas Lab podcast, explore how scientists at LLNL took a different approach by rethinking how a telescope is manufactured, engineered and integrated for space. livermorelab.info/46uS15M
