Lab Calendar's
Missing Date
Employees
may have noticed a missing date on the Lab's "three-month-at-a-glance"
calendar (pictured). On the page that lists June as
the main month, the blue shaded month of July, positioned
just below June, is missing the 21st day. The next page,
featuring July in white, is printed correctly.

Concrete Band-Aids
For Buildings
UC
Berkeley civil engineers are developing a new concrete
Band-Aid for bridges and buildings. Surprisingly, their
key research tool is borrowed from biology. To perfect
the formula for their novel admixture, the researchers
turn to the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley
Lab. With wavelengths nearly the size of atoms, the
ALS's soft x-rays enable biologists to study the inner
workings of cells. Full
story.
Halted Cell Division
Helps Cancer Fight
Brown University researchers found that there are multiple independent ways to stop cell division, a phenomenon that prevents the spread of genetic mutation, which can make cells cancerous. Results of this research, along with an accompanying editorial, were published in the current issue of the journal Molecular Cell. The research took two years to complete. Scientists at Berkeley Lab provided technical assistance. Full story.

Tobacco Pollution Article Posted in 'Nature Views'
William Nazaroff and Brett Singer, with Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division, wrote an article on "Inhalation of Hazardous Air Pollutants From Environmental Tobacco Smoke in U.S. Residences," that appeared in the Journal of Exposure Analysis and Environmental Epidemiology. The paper estimates the average daily residential exposures to and intakes of 16 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) found in environmental tobacco smoke for U.S. nonsmokers who live with smokers. The publication was recently featured in Nature.com's "Nature Views" section. Go here to read the article.
