The Particle Adventure, an Interactive Tour of the Inner Workings of the Atom and the Tools for Discovery, has been published by the Contemporary Physics Education Project. The interactive tour is an education adventure aimed at high school students.

Research Highlights for the Year, is a richly illustrated publication written with language intended to give the public a fuller understanding of the science underway here. The science that has been highlighted was selected by lab management and the publication was created by the Public Information Department. With the recent discovery of the top quark --- the last and heaviest of the quarks -- a revised (1995) edition of the Fundamental Particles and Interactions chart has just been released. This chart, published by the Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP), is the physicist's answer to Mendeleev's Periodic Table of the elements.

Beyond Telecommuting: A New Paradigm for the Effect of Telecommunications on Travel is a Department of Energy report in support of the development of the National Information Infrastructure (NII), a web of communications networks, computers, and databases that will provide vast amounts of information to users. The report is based on a study carried out by Global Telematics for the DOE and the Laboratory.

The National Center for Electron Microscopy (NCEM) is a DOE User Facility providing the U.S. electron microscopy community with advanced instrumentation for electron-optical characterization of materials. With the highest resolution (1.6A) electron microscope in the U.S. (the JEOL ARM-1000) and the highest-energy microscope (the Kratos EM-1500), the NCEM is a national user facility open to qualified researchers in materials science and associated disciplines.

The Lab's ELSI in Science program is an educational project that stimulates discussions on the implications of selected areas of scientific research. These modules probably are most useful to educators and students at the middle school level but older students also may benefit.

The Environment, Health, and Safety Division has published an online version of the The Lab's Health & Safety Manual (PUB3000), current training and audiovisual catalogs, as well as links to DOE and UC environment, health & safety information.

The Lab's Yellow Pages provides listings and phone numbers of groups, organizations, departments, and divisions at the Lab. For those who use AppleShare, you can locate the Macintosh zone for a particular individual. Also, IP addresses can be looked up. The Yellow Pages also can be accessed from the Directory Services page, which is linked to the Lab's Home Page.

The Lab's 1994 Annual Report to the University of California Board of Regents, entitled Today's Science -- Tomorrow's Technology, details significant scientific achievements, the Lab's funding and staffing levels, and includes its organization chart. Also, the Lab's Director Charles Shank provides his perspective on the changes ahead.

The Lab's Institutional Plan, prepared by the Office for Planning and Communications, identifies long-range conditions that will influence the Lab, as well as potential research trends and management implications. The "Core Business Areas" section identifies potential new research programs that represent major long-term opportunities for the Lab. The "Critical Success Factors" section reviews human resources; environment, safety, & health; management practices; and communications and trust. "Resource Projections" estimates the funding necessary for ongoing research programs.

The Lab's Technical and Electronic Information Department has created Microworlds, an interactive science magazine for middle-school and high-school students. This education-outreach project features information about research programs at the Lab. Each "article" has learning activities to help students understand basic concepts related to the research described. An "ask-a-scientist" page lets students and teachers type their questions on a form and send them to the Lab to be answered. The articles now online focus on the Lab's Advanced Light Source.

The Lab's Web now includes a Calendar of Events that lists meetings, classes, and events of interest to Lab employees. The Calendar is published weekly by the Public Information Department, both online and in Currents. Instructions on how to have your meeting, event, or class listed are included in the calendar.

The new, improved Advanced Light Source home page provides user beamline information (including how to submit a proposal to use the ALS), contacts at the ALS, workshop summaries, and links to other synchrotron facilities. Also online is ALS News, a weekly bulletin launched in November 1994 which features new science and recent activities.

The premiere online edition of the Lab's Research Review magazine consists of 21 richly illustrated articles as well as an online readership survey. Research Review now features a new mix of short and long articles. A sampling of the articles includes a close-up look at the National Center for Electron Microscopy; the search for faster, brighter scintillators; new technology for diagnosing influenza; a new eye cancer treatment clinic that is the outgrowth of a Lab experimental program; a new approach for toxic waste cleanups; and the discovery of evidence for the top quark.

The Imaging and Distributed Computing Group announces its interactive frog dissection page. Users can view images generated on-the-fly as a result of their requests for depicting a frog from various views and in various stages of dissection. Since its launch on the Web, the frog project has been very popular and has been accessed by more than 16,000 hosts from more than 50 countries via World Wide Web.

The Lab has put online an interactive retrieval system for 1990 U.S. Census data which is known as LOOKUP. The data files in LOOKUP are part of a larger collection of 251 CD-ROM diskettes (approximately 125 gigabytes). Much of this larger collection pertains to the 1990 Census of Population and Housing which also includes complete TIGER map files, detailed maps for the entire U.S. and its territories. The data have been assembled as part of the Comprehensive Epidemiologic Data Resource (CEDR)and Populations at Risk to Environmental Pollution (PAREP)projects of the Lab's Information and Computing Sciences Division.

Currents, the Lab's weekly employee newspaper, is online, and each edition now includes a table of contents. In addition, you can search for a specific article published in a back issue of Currents going back to January 1994, when Currents first began being published electronically. Currents is published by the Lab's Public Information Department.

The most recent news releases about scientific breakthroughs and advances by Lab scientists are now online. In addition to recent news releases, this collection includes the 1993 Lab Research Highlights. Research Highlights, which is fully illustrated, features 13 outstanding projects from around the Laboratory.

Those unfamiliar with the UC Berkeley campus can consult a map of the campus. Information about a number of individual buildings can be obtained by clicking your mouse on the building of interest.

The Center for Beam Physics is a multi-disciplinary research and development unit in the Lab's Accelerator and Fusion Research Division dedicated to exploring the frontiers of the physics of (and with) particle and photon beams. Its primary mission is to promote the science and technology of the production, manipulation, storage and control of systems of charged particles and photons.

The Contemporary Physics Education Project (CPEP) is a national organization of physicists and teachers that creates and provides educational products for high school and college students and for other fans of physics. CPEP materials present the current understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and energy, incorporating the major research findings of the past three decades.
