The Engineering of Cell
Surfaces In Live Animals

|
| Bertozzi |
|
|

Four
years ago Berkeley Lab Materials Scientist Carolyn
Bertozzi introduced a new way of engineering the
surfaces of cells, by arming cell-surface sugars to take part
in a modified chemical reaction known as the Staudinger ligation.
The technique has proved valuable in studies of cell interactions
and the development of techniques for interfacing cells with
synthetic materials and devices. Now Bertozzi has demonstrated
the Staudinger ligation in remodeled cells of living mice.

Insights Into Hi-Temp
Superconductors
An elegant experiment conducted by UC Berkeley and Berkeley Lab scientists, in collaboration with a group of scientists at Tokyo University, shows clearly that in high temperature superconductors, vibrations in the crystal lattice play a significant though unconventional role. The results, reported in the July 8 issue of Nature, shed much-needed light on the enigmatic superconductors, which, 18 years after their discovery, still puzzle theoreticians and experimentalists. The findings also could point scientists to new materials as possible superconductors. Full story.

Science and Engineering Jobs: Don't Need Degree
According to a National Science Foundation (NSF) study, more than 20 percent of the science and engineering workforce in the United States do not have bachelor's degree. More than a million S&E workers hold only high school diplomas or an associate's degree, but the statistics are not evenly distributed across disciplines. For example, 40 percent of those working in computing sciences, and 20 percent of those in engineering, did not have a bachelor's degree, while less than 10 percent of those in the physical sciences did not. Full story.
