Cradle to Commerce’s Cohort 2 Is Here! We’re excited to introduce the nine incredible teams selected for Cohort 2 of the C2C program! These visionary scientists and entrepreneurs?have proven their potential in the C2C Legion phase, and we’re thrilled to congratulate them on reaching this major milestone. Throughout the cohort phase, these teams?will push the boundaries?of hard tech development across cutting-edge test beds at Argonne National Laboratory, Berkeley Lab, Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and The Engine Accelerator. They'll also sharpen their business acumen through The Engine’s Entrepreneurial Blueprint program and receive personalized guidance from C2C Warrior Team expert mentors. The journey will culminate in summer 2025 with a pitch and demo showcase at C2C's Annual Summit. Supported by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Technology Commercialization Fund and administered by the DOE Office of Technology Transitions, #C2C is proud to continue driving these teams toward market impact with their game-changing #innovations!

Big news from Straus Family Creamery! ???? They’re shaking up the dairy world by installing the ANSWR CO2 Heat Pump—the first of its kind for industrial refrigeration! ?? Imagine keeping your ice cream perfectly chilled while reducing energy consumption and ditching fossil fuel refrigerants for CO2. That's innovation AND sustainability in one sweet package! We’re thrilled to team up on this game-changing project as we continue our mission to push the boundaries of #EnergyEfficiency. Get ready for some cool, sustainable vibes ahead! #CleanEnergy #Sustainability

“EV adoption rates are rising nationally, but we’re seeing considerable differences in readiness levels among utilities. We wanted to establish a baseline to understand the current state of smart charge management and then see what factors might be slowing the implementation of managed charging programs.” - Berkeley Lab Mechanical Engineer Doug Black

Congratulations to newly-minted #Nobel laureate David Baker! Reflecting on your remarkable contributions, not just at several Berkeley Lab-based user facilities but across many other critical light sources worldwide, is truly amazing. Your research, with publications from Beamlines 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.3.1, and 12.3.1, spanning fundamental protein folding to computer-designed vaccines, truly epitomizes the breadth of computational protein design. We can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

???? The NERSC community is thrilled to offer congratulations to biochemist, computational biologist, NERSC user, and new Nobel Prize winner David Baker! Baker was honored for his work using deep learning to design novel proteins to address global challenges in fields like medicine, technology, and sustainability. Since first accessing NERSC systems in 2021, Baker has used 1.5 million GPU hours at NERSC and published at least eight major papers citing NERSC. Congratulations! ????
