Science Serving the Nation
About us
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science is the lead federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for energy and the Nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences. The Office of Science portfolio has two principal thrusts: direct support of scientific research and direct support of the development, construction, and operation of unique, open-access scientific user facilities. These activities have wide-reaching impact. The Office of Science supports research in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, at DOE laboratories and more than 300 universities and institutions of higher learning nationwide. The Office of Science User Facilities provide the Nation’s researchers with state-of-the-art capabilities that are unmatched anywhere in the world.

A water molecule is made of two hydrogens and an oxygen, but splitting those elements apart is challenging. With support from our Graduate Student Research program, Tatiana Mamani (a student at the University of California, Davis) will be conducting research in this area at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory: https://lnkd.in/gJbFr-qY

Lights, camera, action!📷 The world's largest digital camera has officially been installed at NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory! 🤩 With this major milestone achieved, Rubin is now in its final phase of testing ahead of revealing long-awaited "First Look" imagery later this year — over a decade in the making! The car-sized LSST Camera was the final major component to be installed on the telescope 🔭 Soon, Rubin will begin to #CaptureTheCosmos with the decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time, repeatedly scanning the southern night sky and generating the greatest cosmic movie of our Universe ever made 🌌 Once online later this year, Rubin will be jointly operated by the National Science Foundation (NSF) NSF NOIRLab and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Read more about this exciting milestone! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gD__6yjV

The world's largest digital camera is ready for action! The NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory has just installed the LSST Camera on its telescope. Thanks to our partners at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NSF NOIRLab, it will soon be ready to capture more data than any other observatory in history. This data will reveal unprecedented insights, especially into the dark energy and dark matter that make up 95% of the matter-energy of our universe: https://lnkd.in/eUsKAcau

"How can we claim to understand the universe when such a significant piece is missing? Exploring that mystery drives us forward." - Tom Shutt at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, discussing the hunt for mysterious dark matter. Find out what we've learned so far: https://lnkd.in/e7vM3zAJ

The teal and blue springs of Yellowstone National Park are the stuff of postcards. What tourists don’t see are the diverse communities of microscopic organisms below the surface. With boiling hot temperatures and sometimes very acidic conditions, these microbes live in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. Scientists think that some of the earliest forms of life may have evolved in hot springs. Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory cataloged microbes living in hot springs in Yellowstone, Iceland, and Japan. They found that the pH of spring water (the acidity level of a liquid) is the major driver of which microbes are in which springs. A better understanding of microbes in hot springs could provide insights into where we came from and set a foundation for where we could go in our understanding of the Earth around us. https://lnkd.in/eSgcZdPW
