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…

Isotopes are essential for medicine, quantum computing, and national security. But for 10+ years, the U.S. has lacked at-scale, domestic stable isotope enrichment. Now @ORNL & @ENERGY's Office of Isotope R&D and Production have revitalized that capability: energy.gov/science/articl…

Testing for structural integrity is essential to producing strong products, from cars to aircraft. One of the most common processes for this testing uses iridium-192. @ENERGY has now established the capability to produce Ir-192 domestically: energy.gov/science/articl…

For decades, scientists have known that certain oxide crystals had the ability to retain memory, but the question remained—why? Findings from @ENERGY’s National Labs and @TAMU are shining a light on the mysteries of vision and beyond. nlr.gov/news/detail/pr…

Students + artificial intelligence + a challenge = innovation! During the Presidential AI Challenge, students demonstrated how they could use AI to address real-world issues. The top teams showcased their ideas, which addressed problems ranging from crime to bullying.

Happy Independence Day and 250th birthday to America!

Science runs on data. That's why @ENERGY's Office of Science is building the High Performance Data Facility @JLab_News. The Lab recently celebrated a step towards construction with the groundbreaking of the Jefferson Lab Data Center: jlab.org/news/releases/…

The new Quantum Genesis initiative from @ENERGY aims to develop the world's first scientifically relevant, fault-tolerant quantum computing capability by 2028. Achieving this goal would be a monumental leap forward for science and the nation: energy.gov/science/articl…

Particles from a star that exploded millions of years ago can provide insights into our universe today. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the @Space_Station gathers data on the properties of these cosmic rays: energy.gov/science/articl…

The Computational Sciences Graduate Fellowship - supported by @ENERGY - has played a major role in U.S. leadership in supercomputing. In fact, their alumni work on the fastest computers in the world. We're proud to announce the 2026-2027 class of fellows: energy.gov/science/articl…

The Presidential AI Challenge brought together young Americans from across the country to create AI tools to serve their communities. Today, the @WhiteHouse welcomed students, educators, and parents to celebrate this year’s National Champions!

Today, I’m proud to share the release of @ENERGY’s finalized Fusion Science & Technology Roadmap. Developed with input from industry, National Labs, & academia, it sets a unified national strategy to move fusion from breakthrough to deployment. Read here: energy.gov/articles/energ…

The First Lady had a remarkable week - empowering the next generation by launching Fostering the Future Accounts, America’s first investment program for foster youth, & honoring America’s brightest young innovators at the first Presidential AI Challenge Awards Ceremony. 🇺🇸

A bundle of joy has arrived @PPPL in the form of much-anticipated equipment! The NSTX-U bundle is a key component for the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade experimental fusion device: pppl.gov/news/2026/deli…

Congratulations to Eva Y. Andrei, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero & Allan H. MacDonald on being awarded @KavliPrize in Nanoscience! Their work, supported by @ENERGY, established the field of twistronics. It shows that twisting 2D materials produces new properties. kavliprize.org/prizes/nanosci…

Fusion energy is transitioning from a long-term vision to a near-term opportunity. Today, @ENERGY has released the finalized Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap. With extensive input from partners, this roadmap offers a unified national blueprint: energy.gov/fusion/fusion-…
