The next generation of artificial bone may rely on a few secrets from the sea. Berkeley Lab materials scientists Antoni Tomsia, Sylvain Deville, and Eduardo Saiz have harnessed the way seawater freezes to develop a porous, scaffolding-like material that is four times stronger than material currently used in synthetic bone. Although still in the investigational stages, variations of this substance could also be used in a myriad of applications in which strength and lightness are imperative, such as dental implants, airplane manufacturing and computer hardware. Full story.

The most recent issue of Science@
Berkeley Lab includes stories on how electron tomography is closing the resolution gap, spintronics, and synergy at the TeV scale (trillion electron votes). Also included is a feature called "Energy Bar," which highlights the use of smart dust sensors and solar power to decrease the need for fossil fuels. These articles and more can be read here.

Water, Energy Team
Updates its Website
The Water and Energy Technology Team in Berkeley Lab's Environmental Energy Technologies Division has updated its website. It includes a description of the team's mission (a better understanding of the fundamental science, applied technology, and economics of the water/energy nexus), and projects, which address energy-water matters as they relate to climate change, wastewater, water quality, energy and water efficiency, and industrial processes. Go here to view the updated site.

Albany High Tops Two
Lynbrooks for Bowl Win
A team of whiz kids from Albany High proved to be the best of 16 entered in last Saturday's regional Department of Energy (DOE) Science Bowl at Berkeley Lab and will go on to national competition in Washington D.C. in April. Albany defeated Lynbrook High of San Jose, 110-74, in the final match of the day. A second Lynbrook team finished third. Teacher Peggy Carlock coached the winning team, which included captain Xia Bing, Ian Allen, Andrei Poletayev, Jackie Quinn, and Zi Wang. The Center for Science and Engineering Education, DOE's Berkeley Site Office, about 35 Lab volunteers, and the Lab Security staff made sure that everything ran smoothly.
