Two years ago, researchers and staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a major scientific breakthrough by making the dream of fusion ignition a reality. This week, we continued this celebration by announcing new advancements to commercialize fusion.

Craving something sweet on #NationalDonutDay? 🍩 Well, we’re craving clean energy. Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have shown how the shape of ring-shaped tokamaks – whether squat like a doughnut or more spherical like a cored apple 🍎 – impacts how we can stabilize plasma and bring us closer to the commercialization of fusion energy.

Join us as we #WearOrange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day to recognize the heartache this epidemic has caused & the resilience of survivors & their loved ones. For those we've lost & those we can save, let us foster a future where every community is safe from gun violence.
Today, I'm thinking about my grandchildren, teachers like my daughter and son-in-in-law, and the thousands of people in America whose lives are impacted by gun violence each year. I #WearOrange for them and for a future free of the impacts of this epidemic.

Don’t worry — these high-performance computers thrive in liquid 💧 Sandia engineers are submerging computer servers in a liquid coolant, eliminating the need for power-hungry cooling systems. This could cut energy consumption by 70% and reshape data center architecture. “It’s pretty cool — and a little unusual — to walk into a computing lab and see electrical hardware submerged in fluid,” Sandia engineer David Damm said.

Puerto Rico’s commitment to achieving 100% renewable energy by 2050 will require finding new sites for energy projects. Reservoirs and brownfields—lands previously used for industrial and commercial purposes that may be contaminated—could be full of untapped potential. In a new study, completed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), researchers identified up to 3.3 gigawatts of theoretical solar PV capacity across Puerto Rico’s waterbodies, closed landfills, Superfund sites, power plant footprints, and other contaminated areas. This work builds on the Puerto Rico Grid Resilience and Transitions to 100% Renewable Energy Study (PR100), released by DOE, FEMA, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory earlier this year. 📝Read the study to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eE4x4jV5
