ANNOUNCEMENTS

Reminder: Blackberry
Gate Work on Monday


Employees who use Blackberry Gate to enter the Lab are reminded that construction will begin there on Monday, causing traffic delays and occasional closures. Drivers are encouraged to use Grizzly and Strawberry Gates whenever possible. The 25 parking spots in the "horseshoe" lot, just below Blackberry Gate, will be unavailable throughout the project.

In it, Boering, along with colleague Ron Cohen, both atmospheric chemists, discuss their research on climate change and its implications. Go here to read the story.
RESEARCH NEWS

Spinons And Holons
Observed at ALS


Rotenberg
The spin and electrical charge of an electron are thought to be intrinsic parts of a whole, like the body and wheels of a car, incapable of separate and independent actions. However, according to a 40-year-old theory, certain conditions in a one-dimensional solid can lead to the separation of spin and charge into two new particles called "spinons" and "holons." A team of scientists working at the Advanced Light Source, which included Berkeley Lab's Eli Rotenberg, has obtained the first direct and unambiguous proof that the theory is correct. Full story.

TECH TRANSFER UPDATE

Berkeley Fume Hood
Licensed for Manufacture

Esco Micro Pte Ltd. has recently concluded an exclusive license to manufacture and sell energy-efficient fume hoods for use in laboratories.   The Berkeley Lab technology invented by researchers in the Facilities and Environmental Energy Technologies Divisions saves up to 75 percent of energy over traditional hoods and eliminates the need for expensive control systems.
