DOE Office of Science

Sometimes scientific terms can be confusing. @ENERGY's "DOE Explains..." offers straightforward explanations of everything from Atmospheric Radiation to Ultrafast Science energy.gov/science/doe-ex…

I’m excited to share that today @ENERGY announced $293M in funding to support the Genesis Mission National Science and Technology Challenges. Experts from the National Labs, industry, and academia are invited to apply to address these critical projects.

From investigating protons to improving medicine, particle accelerators provide unmatched scientific insights. Through BeamNetUS, undergrad researchers used tools @SLAClab to test a detector designed to improve isotope production for cancer treatment: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2025-12-1…

Particle accelerators are indispensable to many fields, including high energy physics, medicine, and national security. @ENERGY is accepting applications for R&D projects to advance the state-of-the-art for accelerators and strengthen supply chains: [URL]

Are you or do you know an undergrad student in STEM? Check out @ENERGY's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships and Community College Internships! Interns gain valuable hands-on experience at National Labs and receive a stipend. Apply today: energy.gov/science/articl…

A good mentor can make all the difference in a scientific career. Congratulations to the four employees from @ENERGY National Laboratories who are receiving the inaugural DOE Distinguished Mentor Award for Workforce Development: energy.gov/science/articl…

Building technology that harnesses quantum mechanics requires special materials. @ENERGY's Office of Isotope R&D and Production worked with @PNNLab to strengthen supply chains for isotopically enriched materials essential to quantum tech: energy.gov/science/articl…

The new Office of Science Advisory Committee provides advice to @ENERGY on a variety of complex scientific and technical issues, including establishing research priorities. The Committee’s inaugural meeting will be on March 27. Register today: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOE…

The Energy Frontier Research Centers bring together world-class teams from universities, National Labs and other research institutions to perform basic research relevant to energy. @ENERGY has announced a $352M funding opportunity for new & renewing EFRCs: energy.gov/science/articl…

Early career researchers drive innovation. @ENERGY Office of Science is now accepting applications for its 2026 Early Career Research Program. The program will support about 100 exceptional researchers in basic science areas critical to DOE's mission: energy.gov/science/articl…

Scientific discovery relies on partnerships. @ENERGY's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program is now accepting applications for Building EPSCoR-State/DOE-National Laboratory Partnerships: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USDOE…

COVID-19 isn’t done evolving—and neither are treatments. Scientists used a tool @SLACLab to redesign a drug for hepatitis C to craft a new antiviral. It tackles drug-resistant variants of COVID-19 head-on. energy.gov/science/ber/ar…

The potential for a fourth type of neutrino - tiny, abundant "ghost" particles - has been haunting physics for years. Its existence would resolve earlier inconsistencies. But the MicroBooNE experiment @Fermilab found no evidence of a 'sterile neutrino': news.fnal.gov/2025/12/microb…

Heads up - way up! The NSF-DOE @VRubinObs is now providing notifications of changes in the Southern night sky. It just launched real-time monitoring that will provide alerts of astronomical events, including asteroids and supernovae: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2026-02-2…

Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions, but they can also accelerate the development of new medicines. Scientists at Purdue University (@LifeAtPurdue) are designing catalysts to tackle tough reactions and manufacture components of drug compounds: purdue.edu/newsroom/2025/…

Driving careers forward! This spring, 165 students will participate in unique hands-on research and technical training at DOE National Laboratories and a fusion facility. energy.gov/science/articl…

Imagine cramming the sun into a box. You would need to control incredible amounts of heat. Fusion energy scientists, who recreate the process inside stars, face this challenge. Scientists @PPPLab found that swirls in plasma can help regulate the heat: energy.gov/science/articl…

What can #neutrinos reveal about the evolution of our universe? Brookhaven physicist Mary Bishai is finding the answer. @doescience @DUNEScience bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

While these crystals resemble rocks, there's a lot going on under the surface. They're quantum spin liquids, a state of matter with constantly-changing magnetic spins that could be used in quantum computers. Scientists @SLAClab discovered this new example: www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2025-11-1…
