Advanced Light Source at sunset facing the San Francisco Bay.

The ALS is a specialized particle accelerator, known as a synchrotron light source, that generates bright beams of X-ray, infrared, and extreme ultraviolet light useful for research. It supports the research of 2,000 users annually.

The Joint Genome Institute building at twilight.

The JGI advances genomics science in support of the DOE’s clean energy and environmental missions by providing scientific users from around the world access to integrated, high-throughput gene sequencing, DNA design and synthesis, metabolomics, and computational analysis.

Molecular Foundry surrounded by morning fog.

The Molecular Foundry is a DOE-funded nanoscience research facility that provides scientists from around the world access to world-class expertise and instrumentation in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

Shyh Wang Hall at sunset.

As the primary scientific computing facility for the DOE Office of Science, NERSC provides computational resources and expertise to more than 8,000 scientists each year, who use NERSC to perform unclassified basic research.

Shyh Wang Hall entrance in the evening.

ESnet is the DOE’s dedicated science network, providing high-bandwidth, reliable connections that link the world’s scientists and their data, enabling them to collaborate on some of the world’s most important scientific challenges.

This image shows the cobalt defect fabricated by the study team. The green and yellow circles are tungsten and sulfur atoms that make up a 2D tungsten disulfide sample. The dark blue circles on the surface are cobalt atoms. The lower-right area highlighted in blue-green is a hole previously occupied by a sulfur atom. The area highlighted in reddish-purple is a defect—a sulfur vacancy filled with a cobalt atom. The scanning tunneling microscope (gray) is using electric current (light blue) to measure the defect’s atomic-scale properties.
