Lab Scientists Pave
Way for Cell Chips
Berkeley Lab researchers have developed a new technique in which single strands of synthetic DNA are used to firmly fasten biological cells to non-biological surfaces. This first-of-its-kind technique could serve as the basis for “cell chips,” analogous to DNA chips, that would be used in a wide variety of applications, including biosensors, drug-screening technologies, the growing of artificial tissues and the design of neural networks. The work was done by a team that included Ravi Chandra, Erik Douglas, Richard Mathies, Carolyn Bertozzi and Matthew Francis. Full story.

Library Adds Files
To Web of Science
Berkeley Lab's Library recently acquired access to files dating back to 1945 from Web of Science, the online scientific citation database. The Library has a license that allows five concurrent users to access the website at any one time. Users are advised to log out upon completion of a search. Keeping a session open ties up a licensed seat for up to 60 minutes, and prohibits another user’s access. Visit the Library here, and the Web of Science here.
New Start Time for
Employee Orientation
The New Employee Orientation will now start at 8:30 a.m., instead of from 8 a.m., beginning with this Wednesday’s meeting. The New Employee Orientation is held in the Building 50 Auditorium.

Lab's Ethanol Program
Featured in ABC Report
A news report last Monday, indicating that using ethanol instead of gasoline saves oil and is probably no worse for the environment than burning gasoline, brought an ABC news team from KGO-Channel 7 to Berkeley Lab and the west coast's busiest distribution station. The story featured interviews with transportation manager Bill Llewellyn and fleet manager Don Prestella, plus administrator Leslie Striplin driving a Lab car. See the video here (select media player when prompted or save to hard drive).

As scientists in building 31 at the Johnson Space Center are working to extract particles from Stardust’s aerogel collectors, work is already beginning on analyzing the pristine grains the spacecraft brought to Earth. One of their tools is Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (ALS). Using the station at magnet number 10 of the synchrotron, the Stardust team exposed their half tile of aerogel to a succession of trials. Full story.
