Team
Integrates Silicon
Circuit With Nanotubes

The discovery of carbon nanotubes heralded a new
era of scientific discovery that included the
promise of ultra-sensitive bomb detectors and
super-fast computer memory chips. But finding
a way to incorporate nanomaterials into a working
nanoelectronic system has been a frustratingly
elusive achievement — until now. In an important
milestone in the fields of nanosciences and nanoengineering,
a team of UC Berkeley and Stanford researchers,
including Lab materials scientist Jeff Bokor,
have created the first working, integrated silicon
circuit that successfully incorporates carbon
nanotubes in its design. Go here
to read Sarah Yang’s UC Berkeley press release.

Main
Server Down
On Friday Evening
The
Lab's main web server, www.lbl.gov, will be down
for urgent hardware maintenance on Friday between
6 and and 10 p.m. This will affect the Lab's main
website and web email (www.lbl.gov/mail). There
will be two short 15-minute intervals where the
server will not be available, one at the start
of maintenance between 6 and 6:15 p.m. and another
when the maintenance work is completed, sometime
between 8 and 10 p.m. For questions, contact the
Help Desk at 486-HELP or visit their website.

New
Smoking Rules for
UC, Government Buildings
A
new law that took affect on Jan. 1
— Assembly Bill 846 —
requires that smokers do their puffing
at least 20 feet from the door or
working window of any University of
California or government building,
including those at the Lab. Formerly,
smokers had to maintain a distance
of five feet from a building’s
entrance. The law was created to reduce
exposure to second-hand smoke.

Three-Month Safety
Campaign Launches
In
an effort to increase awareness about accident
prevention, “Today at Berkeley Lab”
will feature over the next three months occasional
safety tips on hand injuries, ergonomic issues,
trips and falls, and lifting. For example: carrying
boxes up or down stairs can obstruct an employee's
view, as illustrated in the photo above, causing
them to trip or fall. It is safer to use an elevator
or hold the box to the side so that vision is
not obstructed.
