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 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." |
