A collaboration at JBEI identifies the first enzyme linked to galactan synthesis. »

Powerful Muscles for Micro-robots

Berkeley Lab Researchers have developed an elegant and powerful new actuator that is smaller than the width of a human hair. »

Lab Scientists Developing Quick Way to ID People Exposed to Ionizing Radiation

Research conducted by Berkeley Lab scientists could lead to a blood test that detects if a person has been exposed to radiation, measures their dose, and separates people suffering from inflammation injuries—all in a matter of hours. »

Nanocrystals Not Small Enough to Avoid Defects

Contrary to computer simulations, the tiny size of nanocrystals apparently does not safeguard them from defects. Berkeley Lab scientists at the Advanced Light Source have shown that dislocations can be induced by pressure in ultrafine nanocrystals. »

Space-Age Ceramics Get Their Toughest Test

Lab researchers have developed the first mechanical rig for testing ceramic composites at ultrahigh temperatures. Space-age ceramics hold promise for jet and gas turbine engines that burn with greater fuel efficiency and less pollution. »
