LISTEN 🎧 : @BerkeleyLab's Irfan Siddiqi & @UCBerkeley's Zahra Pedramrazi talk about the current state of quantum computers and explain why the mind-bending theories of quantum make coming to work a lot of fun.
Flashback Friday. AQT Scientist @KasraNowrouzi at @ScienceAtCal @UCBerkeley Midday Science Cafe on our user testbed program.  #LBNLQuantumComputing #AQTatBerkeleyLab
New instruments are continuing relentless growth in data & the need for high-speed networking + analysis. @ESnet stays on top of these trends via the #Network Requirements Review process & the latest review 4 @doescience high energy #physics is available.
Researchers using @OLCFGOV, @NERSC, & @ORNLNeutrons found that the more distorted an atom's structure, the slower protons moved in it. This work could lead to more reliable fuel cells.
