    A new era of American science is here. This week, we brought DOE teams and our National Laboratories together for a dynamic town hall to showcase the Genesis Mission. Genesis will bring together the nation’s strongest scientific talent, its most advanced AI and supercomputing systems, and the unique capabilities across our Labs to revolutionize scientific discovery. This mission will accelerate breakthroughs, strengthen national security, and drive the next era of U.S. innovation. https://lnkd.in/gbVntVDD #GenesisMission

    We are incredibly proud to announce that two of our very own Cyclotron Road fellows have been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list! Congratulations to Gabriella Dweck, cofounder of Oleo, for recognition in the Energy & Green Tech category, and Yasmeen S. Alfaraj, founder of NextSet Materials, for recognition in the Manufacturing & Industry category. Gabriella (2024 cohort) and her team at Oleo are scaling the next generation of fuels. Oleo is developing a biomanufacturing platform that converts agricultural and forestry waste into next-generation oil feedstocks, advancing U.S. energy independence and agricultural resilience. With NextSet Materials, Yasmeen (2025 cohort) is tackling one of the hardest recycling problems — thermoset plastics. Her additives unlock the recovery of valuable composite materials once thought unrecyclable, paving the way for a circular economy. The work being done by Gabriella and Yasmeen is a great example of the hard-tech solutions Cyclotron Road is designed to support. We are honored to support their work from lab to market to address the world’s most pressing challenges. Congratulations again, Gabriella and Yasmeen! #ForbesUnder30 #BerkeleyLab #DeepTech #Innovation #HardTech

    Transmission planners now have an easy-to-use tool for quick assessments of transmission line upgrade options! REFA, short for Reconductoring Economic Financial Analysis, bridges the gap between system-wide planning and detailed technical design so planners and their regulators can evaluate the most optimal solutions to save customers money. With REFA, planners can quickly assess transmission line upgrade options including reconductoring, voltage upgrade, or a rebuild. REFA makes it easy to explore multiple factors and see the least-cost line options for transmission lines in the country. Developed by Berkeley Lab in partnership with Office of Electricity | U.S. Department of Energy, the tool is publicly available here: refa.lbl.gov.

    We're thrilled to share the remarkable journey of Aeroseal, a global leader in HVAC efficiency, born from groundbreaking research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in the early 1990s. The Problem: Leaky HVAC ductwork and building envelopes waste a staggering 30% of the nation's energy, with 40% of energy consumption going towards heating and cooling buildings. Traditional sealing methods are expensive and labor-intensive. Berkeley Lab scientist Mark Modera and his team at the Energy Technologies Area at Berkeley Lab developed a novel duct sealing technology using airborne adhesive particles to seal leaks from inside pressurized ducts. This innovation was licensed to Aeroseal in 1997 and has since saved an estimated $1 billion in energy costs in the U.S. alone. Today, Aeroseal, headquartered in Ohio and led by Amit Gupta, operates in over 90 countries, employs over 400 people, and has sealed over 300,000 homes and 500 million square feet of commercial space. Aeroseal's pioneering technologies have garnered significant recognition, including a spot on Inc. Magazine's 2023 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. This success story showcases the power of technology transfer and collaboration between national labs, academia, and industry. We're proud to have played a role in Aeroseal's journey and look forward to seeing the continued impact of this innovative technology.

    The promise of geothermal is heating up, literally. “Expected to grow 20× by 2050 worldwide, geothermal energy is especially promising in the U.S. due to the existing oil & gas infrastructure that can be used for geothermal production. Geothermal energy may someday power 45% of American homes.” — Eva Schill, Program Lead, Geothermal Systems, Berkeley Lab. (Details via link in comments - The Wall Street Journal paywall)
