The lab’s mission is to become the most pressing and profound scientific problem facing humanity.
Berkeley Lab was founded by Ernest Orlando Lawrence, a UC Berkeley physicist. He won the 1939 Nobel Prize in physics for his invention of the cyclotron, a circular particle accelerator that opened the door to high-energy physics. The laboratory was built on the belief that scientific research is best done through teams of individuals with different fields of expertise working together.
