The American Chemical Society announced yesterday it will bestow its highest honor, the Priestley Medal, on Gabor A. Somorjai, Berkeley Lab scientist and UC Berkeley professor of chemistry, "for extraordinarily creative and original contributions to surface science and catalysis." The annual award, to be presented at the spring 2008 ACS national meeting, recognizes distinguished service to the field of chemistry. Previous Berkeley lab winners of the Priestley are Darleane Hoffman (2000) George Pimentel (1989) and Glenn Seaborg (1979). Full story.

Airline Sensor Could
Pinpoint Germs
A new system that uses a computer program and sensors could identify passengers responsible for the release of chemical agents in a terrorist attack or the unintentional release of germs or a virus, such as the tuberculosis-infected man who recently flew on international flights. The system, devised by Qingyan Chen and his doctoral student, Tengfei Zhang, both of Purdue
University, traces hazardous airborne materials back to the source and can identify the location plus or minus one seat. "Everyone else has tried many ways to solve the problem and he actually figured out a way to keep it stable," said Ashok Gadgil, senior staff Scientist in EETD at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
