Berkeley Lab announced the launch of the LBNL Institute for Globally Transformative Technologies (LIGTT, pronounced "light"). Its ambitious mandate is to foster the discovery, development, and deployment of a generation of technologies that will advance sustainable methods to fight global poverty. »
Berkeley Lab scientists have developed a technique for creating a new molecule that structurally and chemically replicates the active part of the widely used industrial catalyst molybdenite. »
Scientists have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into one-, two- and even three-dimensional macroscopic structures. The technique should enable more effective use of nanorods in solar cells, magnetic storage devices and sensors. »
Berkeley Lab researchers have discovered why a promising technique for making quantum dots and nanorods has so far been a disappointment. Better still, they've discovered how to correct the problem. »
Berkeley Lab researchers have discovered a rotational motion that plays a critical role in the ability of breast cells to form the spherical structures in the mammary gland known as acini. Without this rotation, cells undergo random motion, leading to loss of structure and malignancy. »
Using a cryo-electron microscope, researchers at Berkeley Lab have generated the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure. The microscope, which operates at the frigid temperature of liquid nitrogen, is allowing scientists to see what no one has seen before. »
The University of California announced today that it has identified the Richmond Field Station as its preferred site for the proposed consolidation of the biosciences programs of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The UC-owned site presents the best opportunity to solve the Lab's pressing space problems while allowing for long term growth and maintaining the 80 year tradition of close cooperation with the UC Berkeley Campus. »
