Nanodevices That
Assemble Themselves

Segalman
Segalman
Imagine unrolling an electronic newspaper that's automatically updated via the Internet. Or cheap roof shingles that double as solar panels. These are just two technologies that could become possible with the advent of plastic electronics made from tiny components that assemble themselves. UC Berkeley chemical engineer and Berkeley Lab materials scientist Rachel Segalman is conducting the fundamental research that could help make this nanoscale dream a reality. In December, Segalman's efforts earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award. Full story.

Imaging Algorithm Also
Solves Sudoku Puzzles


Sudoku Puzzle
Cornell physicist Veit Elser has been engrossed recently in resolving a pivotal question in biological imaging. But in discovering an algorithm critical for X-ray diffraction microscopy, Elser and colleagues actually solved two problems: giving researchers a new tool for imaging tiny and delicate biological specimens, and discovering that the same algorithm also solves the internationally popular numbers puzzle Sudoku. Not just one puzzle...all of them. The diffraction data sets were collected at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source (beamline 9.0.1). Full story.

Report Summarizes
Lab's 'View to the Future'


View to the Future cover
A View to the Future, a special report on Director Steve Chu's scientific vision for Berkeley Lab in the coming years, is now online. In it, initiatives in energy technologies, living systems, nanoscience, matter and energy in the universe, ultrafast science, and advanced computing are described, as well as an overview of operations support for the science here. A limited number of full-color 32-page copies of the report are available at the Public Affairs Office in Building 65; pick up a copy, or request one by calling x5771.
