 small
neutron generators
Neutrons can penetrate deeply to probe matter on the atomic scale. Berkeley
Lab scientists have devised small
but powerful neutron generators that can descend into a borehole,
peer inside airport luggage, or perch on a laboratory bench — and
they deliver as many useful neutrons as the largest sources now in use,
at a fraction of the cost.
mighty
molecular motors
Researchers in Berkeley Lab's Physical Biosciences Division have discovered
the mechanism some viruses use to infect the cells of other organisms
with their DNA. The mechanism involves one
of the most powerful biomolecular motors ever observed: scaled up
to human size, it would be powerful enough to lift six aircraft carriers.
a robot
named RAGE
Despite its fearsome moniker, RAGE is a convivial sort of gadget, a
remote-
controlled, rolling communications robot built specifically
to extend the reach of the group-
communication tool known as the Access
Grid to people and events far from the Grid's fixed "nodes."
