About Us
Who We Are
The Energy Technologies Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is home to world-renowned scientists working across borders to develop a strong clean energy future for us all. Our international researchers specialize in wide-reaching, impactful science spanning a range of topics — from buildings and batteries, to indoor air quality, the electricity grid, energy storage, transportation, deep analysis of energy and environmental impacts and much, much more. Our work positively affects the lives of everyday people and communities around the world. We deploy our findings across a wide variety of sectors in emerging and developed economies, and link U.S. industry with key global opportunities.
User Facilities
Berkeley Lab’s User Facilities provide state-of-the-art resources for scientists across the nation and around the world. About 10,000 researchers a year use these facilities, representing nearly one third of the total for all Department of Energy Office of Science User Facilities.
Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS) is an electron accelerator/storage ring that serves as one of the world’s premier sources of X-ray and ultraviolet light for scientific research ranging from advanced materials to protein crystallography and 3D biological imaging.
FLEXLAB® is the first testbed in the world that can evaluate the energy efficiency of major integrated building systems under real-world conditions. Users can test models with real systems, and collect highly accurate, validated performance data for use in building design, utility customer incentive programs, new technology development, and operations software development.
Through unparalleled access to state-of-the-art instruments, materials, technical expertise and training, the Foundry provides researchers with the tools to enhance the development and understanding of the synthesis, characterization and theory of nanoscale materials.
