Since
its crash landing in September 2004, scientists have worked
hard to salvage a priceless treasure aboard the Genesis
space capsule: particles from the sun like those that
gave birth to the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
UC Berkeley professor and Berkeley Lab guest Kunihiko
Nishiizumi is seeking suggestions as he struggles
to figure out how to straighten sheets of crumpled platinum
foil that hold traces of radioactive isotopes of beryllium,
aluminum, manganese and other elements. Full
story.

Seismic reading of Parkfield earthquake |

Tremors
May Crack
Earthquake Code
By
Betsy Mason
Decades of efforts to predict quakes have fallen flat. But a Bay Area scientist may be hot on the trail of that elusive goal. When the Parkfield earthquake hit in September, geologists hoped the seismic instruments set up in anticipation of the quake would detect signs the ground was about to shake. But so far, no signs have been found. So UC Berkeley Seismologists Robert Nadeau (also a Berkeley Lab guest) and David Dolenc dug deeper. They found unusual vibrations 12 to 25 miles below earth's surface that preceded the magnitude 6 earthquake. Full story (registration required).

Networking Tools That
Aid Collaboration
In the networking community, some experts argue that it's not the technology that poses the hurdles, but rather the sociology. The Lab's Distributed Systems Department delves into this area in its next tutorial, "Collaborative Tools and Sociology," to be held from 1 to 4 p.m. this Friday in Perseverance Hall. The session will discuss a number of tools and the sociological aspects of using them to collaborate. There is no charge, but send e-mail here to register. Go here to read more about the tutorial.
