Chu, Cohen Give
'Frontiers' Talks
Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu recently presented one of several talks on "Diverse Frontiers of Science" in a symposium sponsored by the American Institute of Physics in honor of AIP's 75th anniversary. On May 3 — 75 years to the day of the first AIP board meeting — he and other distinguished scientists, including Berkeley Lab materials scientist Marvin Cohen, gathered in Washington D.C., and addressed the past, present and future of physics research. Chu's talk, entitled "Optics and Biophysics," can be viewed in an archived webcast (using Internet Explorer, click on "Chu" link and sign in). Cohen's talk, also available online, was on "Condensed Matter."

An alternative energy company has won the $25,000 first prize at the eighth annual UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition. Aurora BioFuels presented a plan showing how to create bio-diesel fuel with yields 125 times higher than existing bio-diesel conversion technologies, and at half the cost. The winning team is comprised of UC Berkeley students Matt Caspari, Guido Radaelli, and Bert Vick, and Berkeley Lab Environmental Energy Technologies researcher and UC Berkeley professor Tasios Melis. Full story.
