🌿 What if a leaf could do more than photosynthesize? This artificial leaf uses copper nanoflowers + perovskite crystals to turn CO₂ into C₂—used in plastics, jet fuel & more. Built on 20+ yrs of collaboration science. @molecularfndry @Caltech

In 1996, it took Kristin Perrson a whole year to calculate some properties of tungsten. Thanks to big data and machine learning, that same task now takes seconds. Find out how her work @BerkeleyLab made that advance possible: energy.gov/science/articl…

New study led by our researchers outlines a way to engineer pseudo-bonds in materials. Instead of forming chemical bonds, which is what makes epoxies and other composites so tough, the chains of molecules entangle in a way that is fully reversible. newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/03/06/a-n…
