The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) announced today that three Berkeley Engineering faculty members — Kristin Persson, Stuart Russell and David Schaffer — have been elected. The number of engineering faculty members in the NAE is now 73. engineering.berkeley.edu/news/2025/02/t…

New from Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute (ENSI) and colleagues: Copper nanoflowers enable solar-driven hydrocarbon synthesis from waste and sunlight! A step toward sustainable fuels and chemicals. #Perovskite #Sustainability #GreenChemistry #KavliNano

First author Virgil Andrei has a blog post on Springer Nature describing the story behind the science -- and his research visit to collaborate with Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute (ENSI) and Yang Group - UC Berkeley. communities.springernature.com/posts/copper-n…

Professor Ting Xu Joins Plastic People Discussion bampfa.org/event/plastic-…

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…

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 Berkeley Lab made that advance possible: energy.gov/science/articl…
