As the global demand for ammonia continues to grow, driven by its critical role in agriculture, chemical manufacturing, and potential as a clean energy carrier, sustainable production methods are urgently needed. Ammonia production today contributes significantly to CO? emissions, mainly due to the energy-intensive, fossil-fuel-dependent Haber-Bosch process. In this seminar, Feng-Yang ...

The Renaissance of Astrophysics - LivestreamRaffaella Margutti, Associate Professor, Astronomy Department and Physics Department, will review how new observational capabilities to study the night sky have led to recent discoveries and new ways to think about the universe around us. This program is part of a three-part series on “Berkeley in Space ” organized by ...
In this talk, I will present groundbreaking insights into the non-classical nucleation and growth pathways of crystals explored through an innovative colloidal model system composed of optically transparent, oppositely charged particles. This approach has allowed us to probe these complex mechanisms with an unprecedented level of detail, illuminating alternative nucleation ...

Spotlight on Human and Planetary Health: Transforming Food Systems for a Sustainable FutureAgriculture is one of the leading drivers of climate change. Meat production in particular is a major contributor, responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to climate impacts, meat production requires vast amounts of water, and contributes to deforestation as land is cleared for cattle grazing. Over ...

Rob will tell us about restoring the atmosphere for methane, examining sources from natural systems such as the Amazon and anthropogenic sources, including oil fields, pipelines and homes.Rob Jackson is the Chair of the Global Carbon Project, a Senior Fellow at Stanford’s Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Institute ...
Darwin’s theory of natural selection sheds light on nearly every aspect of evolutionary biology. However, it does not address the source of varying structures and functions that are subsequently culled or preserved by natural selection. Advances in cellular and molecular biology are now bringing these generative processes to light. Such ...
