Physicists
Build
World's Smallest Motor
Only
15 years after UC Berkeley engineers built the first
micro-scale motor, a UC Berkeley physicist has created
the first nano-scale motor—a gold rotor on
a nanotube shaft that could ride on the back of
a virus. "It's the smallest synthetic motor
that's ever been made," said Alex Zettl,
a scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences
Division and professor of physics at UC Berkeley.
" Nature is still a little bit ahead of us—there
are biological motors that are equal or slightly
smaller in size—but we are catching up."
Zettl and his UC Berkeley graduate students and
post-docs report their feat in the July 24 issue
of Nature. Full
story. |

Semiconductors
Circuits Shrinking
A
new type of nanotube made of gallium nitride can capture
some of the properties from nanowires and carbon nanotubes,
while dropping some of the poorer characteristics. This
means that nanowires and carbon nanotubes, the next-generation
building blocks for electronic circuits, could soon
shrink semiconductor circuits down a thousand times.
"Each of these—semiconductor nanowires, carbon
nanotubes, and semiconductor nanotubes—will play a
big role in nanocircuits of the future," said Peidong
Yang, a University of California, Berkeley, chemist
and a faculty scientist at Berkeley Lab. Full
story.

Bustamante
Honored
by Biophysical Society Carlos
Bustamante, head of the Physical Biosciences
Division’s Advanced Microscopies Department,
and a professor of molecular and cell biology,
physics, and chemistry at UC Berkeley has been
awarded the Biophysical Society’s Founder
Award. Bustamante was cited for his pioneering
role in single-molecule biophysics. The Society
will honor him, along with eight other scholars,
next February 16 at its annual meeting in Baltimore,
Maryland. |

| Blood
Drive Coming Soon
The
onsite Summer Blood Drive, an ongoing partnership between
Berkeley Lab and the American Red Cross Blood Services,
will be held Wednesday, August 6, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
and Thursday, August 7, from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
in bldg. 70A-3377. In order to provide adequate staffing,
the American Red Cross encourages donors to make an
appointment online at www.BeADonor.com.
The website has a new look and when making an appointment,
start with "registration" and follow the prompts.
The sponsor code is "LBL". Eligibility requirements
are available on the website or call Charlotte Bochra
at 4268, if you have questions. Please consider donating.
Just one hour out of your day would help the American
Red Cross respond to the needs of supplying blood to
our community hospitals. |
