Arthur Brown Jr.

Arthur Brown Jr. (May 21, 1874—July 7, 1957) was an American architect, based in San Francisco and designer of many of its landmarks.

Artificial photosynthesis

Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis.

See Advanced Light Source and Artificial photosynthesis

Beamline

In accelerator physics, a beamline refers to the trajectory of the beam of particles, including the overall construction of the path segment (guide tubes, diagnostic devices) along a specific path of an accelerator facility.

Biofuel

Biofuel is a fuel that is produced over a short time span from biomass, rather than by the very slow natural processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels such as oil.

See Advanced Light Source and Biofuel

California

California is a state in the Western United States, lying on the American Pacific Coast.

Coit Tower

Coit Tower (also known as the Coit Memorial Tower) is a tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, overlooking the city and San Francisco Bay.

See Advanced Light Source and Coit Tower

Combustion

Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

See Advanced Light Source and Combustion

Cyclotron

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest Lawrence in 1929–1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, and patented in 1932.

David A. Shirley

David Arthur Shirley (March 30, 1934 – March 29, 2021) was an American chemist, best known as the fourth director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 1980 to 1989, and for spearheading the funding and creation of the Advanced Light Source.

Ernest Lawrence

Ernest Orlando Lawrence (August 8, 1901 – August 27, 1958) was an American nuclear physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1939 for his invention of the cyclotron.

Fuel cell

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) into electricity through a pair of redox reactions.

See Advanced Light Source and Fuel cell

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is a federally funded research and development center in the hills of Berkeley, California, United States. Advanced Light Source and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are Berkeley Hills, Laboratories in California and university and college laboratories in the United States.

Lithium-ion battery

A lithium-ion or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses the reversible intercalation of Li+ ions into electronically conducting solids to store energy.

See Advanced Light Source and Lithium-ion battery

Nano-FTIR

Nano-FTIR (nanoscale Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) is a scanning probe technique that utilizes as a combination of two techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM).

Nobel Prize in Physics

The Nobel Prize in Physics (Nobelpriset i fysik) is an annual award given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for those who have made the most outstanding contributions to mankind in the field of physics.

See Advanced Light Source and Nobel Prize in Physics

Organic solar cell

An organic solar cell (OSC) or plastic solar cell is a type of photovoltaic that uses organic electronics, a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules, for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight by the photovoltaic effect.

See Advanced Light Source and Organic solar cell

Peer review

Peer review is the evaluation of work by one or more people with similar competencies as the producers of the work (peers).

See Advanced Light Source and Peer review

Presidency of Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan's tenure as the 40th president of the United States began with his first inauguration on January 20, 1981, and ended on January 20, 1989.

Protein structure

Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule.

See Advanced Light Source and Protein structure

San Francisco

San Francisco, officially the City and County of San Francisco, is a commercial, financial, and cultural center in Northern California.

Synchrotron light source

A synchrotron light source is a source of electromagnetic radiation (EM) usually produced by a storage ring, for scientific and technical purposes.

See Advanced Light Source and Synchrotron light source

Transistor

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power.

See Advanced Light Source and Transistor

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths of 10–400 nanometers, shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays.

See Advanced Light Source and Ultraviolet

United States Department of Energy

The United States Department of Energy (DOE) is an executive department of the U.S. federal government that oversees U.S. national energy policy and energy production, the research and development of nuclear power, the military's nuclear weapons program, nuclear reactor production for the United States Navy, energy-related research, and energy conservation.
