Lab Director Steve Chu discusses his Nobel Prize, academic career, and "crusade" to find carbon- neutral sources of energy in an interview with Bonnie Azab Powell, a reporter for UC Berkeley's NewsCenter. In the story, Chu shares tidbits about his background ("I used to sculpt when I was young"), why he left Stanford University to lead the Lab, and his quandary over what kind of hybrid car to purchase. Go here to read the full interview.

2 Americans, German
Win Physics Nobel Prize
Americans John L. Hall and Roy J. Glauber and German Theodor W. Haensch won the 2005 Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for work that could lead to better long-distance communication and more precise navigation worldwide and in space. The prize was given to the three for their work in applying modern quantum physics to the study of optics. Engineers have used their observations to improve lasers, Global Positioning System technology and other instruments. Full story.

New Cluster Speeds
Geophysical Imaging
Members of the National Center for Supercomputing Application's cluster computing staff last month traveled to Berkeley Lab to help the Department of Energy center install a new high-performance computing cluster. Named Geophys, the system will help solve large-scale geophysical problems in computational seismology and electromagnetic imaging. "It's a smoker," said Lab earth scientist Greg Newman. "The cluster is now solving large-scale geophysical imaging problems, providing critical information on subsurface geological processes with implications for energy and the environment." Full story.
