Alivisatos,
Solar Cell
Featured on NBC-TV
NBC
affiliate television stations recently aired a
story featuring Paul Alivisatos, director
of the Lab’s Materials Sciences Division
and Molecular Foundry, discussing the development
of his solar cell technology. In the segment,
Alivisatos explains how the combination of self-assembled
inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals with plastic
composites can produce lightweight, flexible solar
cells of almost any size and shape. A private
company out of Palo Alto, Nanosys, has been awarded
an $850,000 grant from the National Science Foundation
to commercialize the solar cell technology. The
video can be viewed here.

Universities
Compete For NSF Nanotech Program
By
Matt Kelly
The
National Science Foundation
is hip deep in selecting a group
of universities to host a sweeping
nanotech research effort, the
National Nanotechnology Infrastructure
Network (NNIN). Schools across
the country have teamed up into
various consortia vying for
the project, worth as much as
$140 million over the next decade.
The NNIN will be a much larger
and more comprehensive version
of the National Nanofabrication
Users Network (NNUN). Managed
by five schools, the NNUN was
founded in 1993 to help academic
and industry researchers create
nanostructures. Full
story.

Things
to Remember
If a Fire Approaches
Should
it ever become necessary to evacuate buildings
because of a fast moving wildfire, remember:

Listen for information over the public address
system.
- Understand
the difference between types of safety instructions:
vehicular evacuation, pedestrian evacuation,
shelter-in-place.
- Follow
directions
For
other questions, call Valerie Quigley,
Emergency Preparedness Program Manager, at 7032
or Gary Piermattei, Fire Marshall, at 6370.

Regents
Today: Higher
Fees, Ethnic Events
The
University of California Board of Regents
meets in San Francisco today and tomorrow
to discuss and decide several high-profile
issues, including student fee increases
next year of 25-30 percent. Also on the
agenda is a new policy on student-faculty
relations, revised testing requirements
for freshman admissions, and Regent Ward
Connerly's proposal that the University
not sponsor or finance any race-restricted
activities at the campuses. The discussion
on fees, which would rise almost $1,000
a year to $5,247 if Regents approve it,
will begin at 9 a.m. today. A live webcast
can be found here.

HENP
Posts Shuffled;
Orbach Splits Program
DOE
Office of Science Director Ray Orbach has
announced a split of the High Energy and
Nuclear Physics (HENP) program into two
distinct parts. He will appoint Dr. Robin
Staffin as Associate Director for High Energy
Physics and Dr. Dennis Kovar as Associate
Director for Nuclear Physics. Until the
personnel actions are final, they will both
serve as Acting Associate Directors. Dr.
Peter Rosen will become Orbach’s Senior
Science Advisor at Forrestal. “Because
High Energy and Nuclear Physics are two
distinct fields, it is time to recognize
them as such in SC. These offices will,
of course, continue to work closely together
in light of the complementary nature of
their programs,” Orbach wrote in a
letter announcing the changes.
