Bacteria Shows Possible
Life on Other Planets
By David Perlman
Researchers descending more than two miles into the hot, fractured rocks of a South African gold mine have discovered clans of microbes that have thrived there in total isolation for millions of years. Their quest, the scientists say, reveals more clearly than ever how life can exist in the most extreme environments imaginable: beneath the surface of Mars, perhaps, or on almost any other planet in the galaxy. Berkeley Lab earth scientist Terry Hazen was a co-author of the report on this discovery. Full story. The Joint Genome Institute performed the sequencing of the microbes.

For more than two decades, Microsoft's software and Intel's processors were so wedded that the pairing came to be known as Wintel. But as that computing era wanes, Microsoft is turning to a new source of chip design: its own labs. "This is a historic time in the computer industry," said David Patterson, with Berkeley Lab's Computational Research Division. "We're in the middle of a revolutionary change toward parallel computing that will absolutely involve both hardware and software." Full story.

UC Berkeley is shipping copies of physicist Stephen Hawking's latest book on the cosmos to nearly 4,000 of its new freshmen and challenging the frosh to read it over the winter break as a mind-stretching exercise. Berkeley Lab materials scientist and Cal professor Marvin Cohen said undergrads may well have an affinity for the cosmic questions Hawking and co-author Leonard Mlodinow pose: "Is there a God? Is there a religious base to all these things we're seeing? What do you mean the Big Bang started with a single point?" Full story.
