George Smoot works in experimental astrophysics and observational cosmology at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (formerly Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory), where he has been since 1970. He is most famous for his research on the cosmic background radiation, thought to be the relic of the intense heat of the early Big Bang.

In April 1992, George Smoot made the announcement that the long sought variations in the early Universe had been observed by the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) DMR team that he led. NASA's COBE satellite mapped the intensity of the radiation from the early Big Bang and found variations so small they had be the seeds on which gravity worked to grow the galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters seen in the universe today.

George Smoot's research group at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is titled the Cosmic Microwave Background Astrophysics Research Group.
