Notable documented facts
- Berkeley Lab dates its relationship with the University of California to 1931, when Ernest O. Lawrence founded the "Rad Lab" on the UC Berkeley campus.1
- Berkeley Lab's AI page groups its work into AI models, AI applications for scientific fields, curated data repositories, and high-performance computing and networking infrastructure, with roles for NERSC, ESnet, the Center for Advanced Mathematics for Energy Research Applications (CAMERA), and the Joint Genome Institute. It states that a project called FORUM-AI will develop an open-source, general-purpose AI platform for materials and physical sciences research.3
- Berkeley Lab launched the Materials Project in 2011 as a public database of computed materials properties. The laboratory states that the platform provides standardized datasets formatted for training machine-learning models, and the project's documentation describes it as a DOE effort to pre-compute properties of inorganic crystals and molecules and make the data publicly available.78
- Berkeley Lab leads Phase 1 projects under DOE's Genesis Mission that apply AI to areas including precipitation and water forecasting, autonomous materials discovery, critical minerals, and fusion magnet operation.5
