Ten
times a year, the Science Beat website is updated
with stories on some of the latest research taking
place at the Lab. In this week’s issue,
readers can learn more about how nanotechnology
is being used to develop long-lasting artificial
joints, ribosomes guard against transcription
errors, hot quasiparticles are tracked, and the
link between telomeres and protein p53 can aid
in treating breast cancer. Go here
to read the complete issue. |

Carrying Ultra-Fast
Ethernet With Copper
By
Bob Violino
When
it comes to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, what's good for
fiber is good for copper. Or so think two Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
working groups readying versions of the 802.3ae
standard for carrying this ultra-fast Ethernet over
copper. Mike Bennett, senior network
engineer at Berkeley Lab, says 10G Ethernet over
copper could be used to link switches and routers
in the Lab's data centers "or anyplace where
we have high-performance computing in clusters."
But he doesn't foresee much demand for 10G to the
desktop, at least yet. Full
story. |

UC, NASA Join Forces
in $330 Million Project
By
David Perlman
NASA
has signed a $330 million contract with the University
of California to create a national research program linking
NASA's Ames Research Center with scientists throughout
the UC system to help the space agency fulfill its missions
in fundamental and applied sciences. The 10-year venture
will be managed by UC Santa Cruz and is the first of its
kind to directly link the space agency and the academic
world. Full
story. |
