The Shapes of Exploding Stars
To a telescope, even an exploding supernova is a point-source
of light. But if that light is polarized it speaks volumes.
A three-part article looks at how supernova studies at Berkeley
Lab benefit from spectropolarimetry, a tool for studying the
shapes
of exploding stars. |

Up Close in the Far Infrared
When NASA needed a sensitive
detector of far-infrared radiation for SIRTF, the last of
the space-borne Great Observatories, they went to Berkeley Lab's
Materials Sciences Division. What they were asking for had never
been done before, but the result is now in orbit around the
sun. |

The Martian Chronicles
Is there life on Mars? Was there ever? Clues could lurk underground,
near the ice caps, or almost anywhere else on the red planet.
To narrow the search, Berkeley Lab scientists are asking if,
when, and where the essential
conditions for life could have existed on Mars. |
