Science: Dark
Energy Tops '03 Stories
by Tim Folger
For astronomers, 2003 brought some answers, more
questions and a deepening conviction: Something
strange is happening to the universe. A mysterious
repulsive force called dark energy accounts for
73 percent of the entire mass-energy of the universe.
A new tool set to launch within the decade, the
SuperNova Acceleration Probe, will make the most
detailed study yet of the dark-energy-driven expansion
of the universe. "It sure seems that what
we have here is an indication of some kind of
new physics," says Saul Perlmutter,
an astrophysicist at Berkeley Lab. Full
story.

A letter by Jay Groves, with
the Lab’s Physical Biosciences Division,
and Michal Jaros and Michael Baksh, both with
UC Berkeley, was published in the magazine “Nature”
yesterday. The letter is on "Detection of
Molecular Interactions at Membrane Surfaces Through
Colloid Phase Transitions." Go here
to read the letter. A non-technical explanation
of the findings can also be found in Nature's
News and Views, here.

Lab Hosts Physics
Conference in Oakland Physicists
from around the world who study matter under the
extreme conditions that existed in the first few
microseconds of the universe will gather in Oakland
next week for the Quark Matter 2004 conference.
Hosted by Berkeley Lab, the conference will be
held at the Oakland Marriott City Center. In addition
to five days of scientific presentations, Quark
Matter 2004 will also feature a workshop for teachers
on Sunday, from noon to 5:00 pm. Go here
for more information.

OSHA’s Coming to the
Lab: Are you Prepared?
Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) personnel will be at the Lab beginning
Tuesday to begin a two-week site audit. The inspectors
will walk through all labs, shops, and mechanical
rooms to compile findings of deficient conditions.
In preparation for the OSHA visit, employees are
asked to refresh their knowledge by reviewing
surveys on hazard
communication, chemical
safety, and electrical
safety awareness. For more information, contact
Paul Blodgett at x6218.
Correction on Visit by
Iron Age Shoemobile
The Iron Age Shoemobile will visit the Lab today,
from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., in the cafeteria
parking lot. The date was listed incorrectly in
the calendar section of yesterday’s edition
of “Today at Berkeley Lab.”
