Tonight, 7 pm, at the Berkeley Rep: Learn about the elusive force that makes up
three-quarters of the Universe and is causing it to expand at an
accelerating rate. Three scientists chat with KTVU's John Fowler.

Good news for you solar energy fans. The average cost of photovoltaic systems declined by more than 30 percent from 1998 to 2008. Last year, costs fell by more than 4 percent.
Berkeley Lab One week to go! Dark Secrets: What Science Tells Us About the Hidden Universe. Free panel discussion Oct. 26, 7 pm, at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre.

Popular Science Magazine has named Berkeley Lab's and UC Berkeley's Ting Xu one of 2009’s “Brilliant Ten," which honors scientists who ask "big questions outside of the box." Her work is centered on self-assembling nanoparticles.

Warm dense matter exists in the cores of gas giant planets and the preliminary stages of nuclear fusion. With an accelerator built by scientists from Berkeley Lab, Livermore, and Princeton, researchers will soon be able to study it in the lab.

No mystery is bigger than dark energy — the elusive force that makes up three-quarters of the Universe and is causing it to expand at an accelerating rate. KTVU Channel 2 health and science editor John Fowler will moderate a panel of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory scientists who use phenomena such as exploding s...tars and gravitational lenses to explore the dark cosmos.

Saul Perlmutter heads the Supernova Cosmology Project, which pioneered the use of precise observations of exploding stars to study the expansion of the Universe. His international team was one of two groups who independently discovered the amazing phenomenon known as dark energy, and he led a collaboration that designed a satellite to study the nature of this dark force. He is an astrophysicist at Berkeley Lab and a professor of physics at UC Berkeley.
David Schlegel is a Berkeley Lab astrophysicist and the principal investigator of Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), the largest of four night-sky surveys being conducted in the third phase of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, known as SDSS-III. BOSS will generate a 3-D map of two million galaxies and quasars, using a specially built instrument outfitted with 1,000 optical fibers and mounted on the SDSS telescope in New Mexico.
Alexie Leauthaud is Chamberlain Fellow at Berkeley Lab. Her work probes dark matter in the Universe using a technique called gravitational lensing. When gravity from a massive object such as a cluster of galaxies warps space around it, this can distort our view of the light from an even more distant object. The scale and direction of this distortion allows astronomers to directly measure the properties of both dark matter and dark energy.Read More
