    5 Big Questions: Cancer and Aging Radiation Biofuels Supernovae Urban Food Initiative - Science at the Theater
    From simulating supernovae to growing food in our cities, Berkeley Lab scientists dive into the big questions that drive their research. Come hear Judy Campisi, Kai Vetter, Shashi Buluswar, Javier Ceja-Navarro, and Ann Almgren. Series: "Science at the Theater" [Science] [Show ID: 32045]

    Cleantech Pitchfest

    Cleantech Pitchfest
    Hear from six Berkeley Lab scientists with big new ideas designed to help transform our carbon-drenched, overheating world. These short presentations cover desalination, energy efficient window coating, capturing carbon, energy from ocean waves, alternate fuel for your car, and an app that compares fuel economy or EV range.

    Recycling CO2

    Recycling CO2
    Kendra Kuhl co-founded Opus 12 to find out if an electrochemical process, operating inside a desk-sized reactor, can do on an industrial scale what is often hailed as the Holy Grail of carbon-recycling research—convert CO2 captured from smokestacks into ethanol and other valuable products.

    DIY Efficient Windows

    DIY Efficient Windows
    Replacing millions of porous windows with energy-efficient versions in older buildings and homes can be prohibitively expensive. Berkeley Lab’s Raymond Weitekamp, a Caltech PhD, has a new approach: an inexpensive, paint-on, energy-efficient coating that can be applied simply and evenly without the help of a professional—while the windows are still in place.

    Climate Change is Here. Now What?

    Climate Change is Here. Now What?
    Berkeley Lab Scientist, Bill Collins, discusses what we know about climate change, how we know it, and what we can do about it. Collins serves as the director for the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab. He is also the director of the Climate Readiness Institute, a multi-campus initiative to prepare the Bay Area for climate change. Series: "Science at the Theater" [Science] [Show ID: 30892]
