Studying Materials Science at the Nanoscale to Inform Geothermal Development – Earth and Environmental Sciences Area

🔎Using electron microscopy, scientists examined how heat affected cement-like material at the nanoscale. Understanding how materials react to underground environments is key to expanding enhanced geothermal systems. @brookhavenlab.bsky.social @berkeleylab.lbl.gov @molecularfoundry.lbl.gov

2025, wrapped. ✨

As we take a break for the holidays, we look back on a year of rigorous science, deep collaboration, and real-world impact. Glad to be here on @bsky.app to share it with you. 🌍🔬Here’s to what’s next. #Science #2025Wrapped @berkeleylab.lbl.gov

Examining the Role of Bacteria in Produced Water Treatment – Earth and Environmental Sciences Area Article Extracting oil and gas from beneath Earth's surface involves a lot of water. Produced water (PW), which exists naturally underground and is pumped to the surface during the oil and gas production process, is contaminated with salts, industrial c...

🦠 How can microbes help with contamination cleanup? To find out, our researchers investigated the genes and traits of Iodidimonas, a bacterial group common in systems that treat produced water left over from oil and gas production. @biosci.lbl.gov @berkeleylab.lbl.gov
