Science Serving the Nation
About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science is the lead federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for energy and the Nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences. The Office of Science portfolio has two principal thrusts: direct support of scientific research and direct support of the development, construction, and operation of unique, open-access scientific user facilities. These activities have wide-reaching impact. The Office of Science supports research in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, at DOE laboratories and more than 300 universities and institutions of higher learning nationwide. The Office of Science User Facilities provide the Nation’s researchers with state-of-the-art capabilities that are unmatched anywhere in the world.

In 1996, it took Kristin Persson a whole year to calculate some properties of tungsten. Thanks to big data and machine learning, that same task now takes seconds. Persson's research at Berkeley Lab helped make that advance possible. In recognition for her work, DOE's Office of Science recently gave her a Distinguished Scientist Fellow award. Learn more about her work and career: https://lnkd.in/gSxCTaTW

To produce energy from fusion, you need as few disruptions as possible. But runaway electrons that result from the process can slam into a fusion device's walls. Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) used the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to simulate a way to diffuse these electrons: https://lnkd.in/eYzdP_Vt

The Office of Science Graduate Student Research program is now open for applications. The program provides awards to U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their PhD research at a DOE national laboratory or facility. It prepares graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the mission of DOE’s Office of Science. Join us for our second application assistance workshop, focused on Q&A, Application and Proposal Guidance, on April 10, 2:00-4:30 PM ET. Register today: https://lnkd.in/ejm3-KRw

Heating plasma for fusion has something in common with heating coffee in the microwave - both get hotter with the use of electromagnetic waves. Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to minimize unnecessary waves that make the reaction less efficient: https://lnkd.in/exPgD9Uf

Analyzing the genes of more than 600,000 veterans - while protecting their private health data - required a supercomputer. The Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided that computational power to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These data will help researchers understand links between genetics and health: https://lnkd.in/d7P6XSqn
