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.

Heating plasma for fusion has something in common with heating coffee in the microwave - both get hotter with the use of electromagnetic waves. Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have found a way to minimize unnecessary waves that make the reaction less efficient: https://lnkd.in/exPgD9Uf

Analyzing the genes of more than 600,000 veterans - while protecting their private health data - required a supercomputer. The Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory provided that computational power to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These data will help researchers understand links between genetics and health: https://lnkd.in/d7P6XSqn

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
