Albany High School's Science Bowl team, which won the regional competition at Berkeley Lab on Jan. 28, finished fourth out of 65 teams in the Department of Energy's national competition last weekend in Washington. Albany was one of three California-based teams to finish in the top four, behind national champion State College High of Pennsylvania. Albany's team — Zi Wang, Ian Allen, Bing Xia, Jackie Quinn, Andrey Poletayen and coach Peggy Carlock — earned $1,000 for its school's science department. Full story (PDF file).

Simulation of black hole collision |

Jay Marx, long-time particle physicist and manager of various construction projects at Berkeley Lab, recently left the Hill to become executive director of LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory. Both were recently featured in the New York Times. LIGO aims to detect the ripples in the fabric of space-time that should be produced by collisions between two black holes, according to the predictions of general relativity. Marx gives LIGO about a 25-percent chance of success "if nature's kind." The story can be read here.
