New Frontiers For Ion
Beam Technology
An ion-beam system that simultaneously combines focused beams of electrons and positive ions promises to improve the versatility, efficiency, and economy of this important technology. The new system was developed by researchers at Berkeley Lab, who report its principles and applications in the latest issue of Applied Physics Letters. Qing Ji authored the report with her colleagues Lili Ji, Ye Chen, and Ka-Ngo Leung. Focused ion beams are important in the semiconductor industry, where they are used to carve structures with dimensions measured in billionths of a meter, repair defects in masks used for photolithography, isolate and analyze elements of integrated circuits, "dope" semiconductors with specific atomic species, and perform other tasks. Full story.

China Pursuing
Supercomputing
By John Markoff
Supercomputing is being seized upon by the Chinese government to help speed the nation's transition from low-cost manufacturing to becoming a more powerful force in the world economy. China's leaders know that high-speed computing is essential to global leadership in scientific fields and advanced design of a variety of sophisticated products. "When they really get noticed,'' said Horst D. Simon, director of the computation center at Berkeley Lab, "will be when a country like Malaysia or Australia decides to buy a supercomputer from a Chinese company like Mr. Chen's rather than from I.B.M."
