The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program supports fundamental research aimed at understanding, predicting, and ultimately controlling matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels. This research is crucial for developing new energy technologies and advancing the Department of Energy's (DOE) missions related to energy, the environment, and national security. Additionally, the BES program plans, constructs, and operates major scientific user facilities that serve researchers from universities, national laboratories, and private institutions. Overall, the BES program funds projects at more than 160 research institutions.

Join us for an insightful presentation led by Dr. Andrew Schwartz, who will explore the vital materials research activities supported by the BES. Discover the significance of national user facilities in advancing materials science research and learn how these initiatives drive innovation and progress in the field.

Optically active spin qubits are promising platforms for applications such as quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum communication. However, in many cases, materials challenges remain major hurdles for realizing these quantum technologies. These challenges include the effects of the host material, surfaces, and device integration- which can both undermine intrinsic ideal quantum properties but also provide necessary engineering controls. In this MRS Bulletin webinar, materials opportunities and challenges that impact the properties of spin qubits interfaced with light are discussed. The material platforms considered are diamond, silicon, silicon carbide, 2D materials and molecular systems. Both fundamental, engineering, and computational design aspects are considered. Such multi-faceted, exploratory, and materials-centric advances are required to unlock the potential of these quantum systems. This webinar is presented in conjunction with the March 2026 issue of MRS Bulletin.

Interested in obtaining a permanent Green Card to work in the United States? Generally, a foreign national seeking permanent residence through employment must be sponsored by his or her employer via the PERM Labor Certification process.

There are numerous routes to employment-based permanent residence that do not require PERM Labor Certification, thereby allowing foreign nationals to avoid this complicated process while also reducing the wait time to obtain employment-based permanent residence.

This presentation will cover and compare the criteria for the EB-1A classification for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, the EB-1B classification for foreign nationals who are outstanding researchers or professors, and the National Interest Waiver (“NIW”) classification. The presentation will also discuss the different types of nonimmigrant visa work classifications.
