IPO Talks Tech Transfer with Visiting Scientists
Technology Commercialization Associate Peter Bluford of Berkeley Lab's Innovation and Partnerships Office discussed the lab-to-market process for science innovations with two scientists -- Dr. Ureshnie Govender of of South Africa and Dr. Angeline Akelo Kasina of Kenya -- who visited Berkeley Lab last month as part of the State Department's TechWomen international exchange … [Read more...] about IPO Talks Tech Transfer with Visiting Scientists
Support Berkeley Lab Prototyping for Commercialization
The Innovation and Partnerships Office (IPO) seeks your support for a solution to a pressing technology transfer challenge – developing and scaling prototypes. As you know, the ability to create, refine, and scale prototypes is critical to transitioning a technology from lab to market. However, prototype development and scaling is rarely funded by DOE programs and is often … [Read more...] about Support Berkeley Lab Prototyping for Commercialization
Heliotrope – Universal Smart Window
A window coating developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) elevates smart windows to their smartest level yet. Available coating products block sunlight and some solar heat load to reduce energy use in buildings. However, they do not block infrared light, which also adds heat to conditioned spaces. Researchers led by Delia Milliron in LBNL’s Materials … [Read more...] about Heliotrope – Universal Smart Window
CinderBio – Industrial Enzymes from Nature
The scientific concept that microbes living in extreme temperatures or toxic conditions could yield more effective industrial enzymes has moved several steps closer to reality. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have produced enzymes from these microbes, called extremophiles, that can replace chemicals used in biofuel production, paper pulping … [Read more...] about CinderBio – Industrial Enzymes from Nature
