Lab Helps Russians
With Windmills
By Betsy Mason

The scientific strength of the Russian weapons program is being aimed at a more peaceful target: wind power. Berkeley Lab has teamed up with former Soviet weapons scientists to design a small-scale wind turbine that could be used by individuals to provide power to their homes. Three of the lead Russian scientists on the project visited the lab last week to showcase the new technology. The team works at the Makeyev State Rocket Center in Miass, Russia, which previously focused on developing submarine-launched missiles. Full story (registration required).

But for the trolley buffs, it was more than enough to set their wheels in motion. When they married, Phyllis - a contracts and grants officer at Berkeley Lab - and Phil had a miniature trolley topping their wedding cake. Full story.
