MIC researchers escape gravity Three researchers from IPRT's Microanalytical Instrumentation Center recently flew on NASA's KC-135 reduced-gravity aircraft to test a new system for determining levels of treatment chemicals in water. It's part of an effort to develop novel instrumentation for monitoring the quality of spacecraft drinking water. Contact: Steve Karsjen

Solving a 'boring' problem Scientists and engineers at the INEEL and the University of Arkansas have developed two technologies that may ultimately enable safer and more economical oil and gas deep-ocean exploration. Contact: David Weinberg
1-Apr-2001
Lab-built components bound for outerspace Jerry Hand and Jim Safly, two Ames Laboratory machinists , have been busy fabricating components for equipment designed to test and monitor the quality of spacecraft drinking water. Contact: Steve Karsjen

Science fiction becomes science reality Who dreams up James Bond's toys? 007 and his gadgets may be a creation of Ian Fleming and Hollywood but those imaginative fellows do exist. A few of them work in INEEL's National Security Division. And there is a government organization that sponsors some of their projects - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Contact: Mike Occhionero
1-Feb-2001
Separation technology unites lab, new company One of Ed Yeung's latest developments — multiplexed capillary electrophoresis using absorption detection — is an innovation that marks the first time that Yeung has been directly involved in launching a new company based on his technology. Contact: Steve Karsjen

Ames Lab scientists win Energy 100 Awards Ames Laboratory research was recognized on the Energy 100 Awards list. Number 24 on the top-100 list was photonic bandgap structures, which was one of only three discoveries and innovations recognized in 1990. Lead-free solder was 36th on the list; one of only two research projects recognized in 1994. Magnetic refrigeration made the 59th spot on the list and was one of 10 discoveries and innovations recognized in 1997. Contact: Steve Karsjen
1-Jan-2001
Joint institute for nanoscience planned Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Washington are preparing to form a joint institute in early 2001 that will bring together the resources of both institutions to pursue major discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Contact: Greg Koller
31-Dec-2000
Random acts of brightness Costas Soukoulis, an Ames Laboratory senior physicis and former Iowa State University graduate student Xunya Jiang, now working at DiCon Fiberoptics, Inc., near Berkeley, Calif., have developed a theoretical model that simulates the phenomenon of random lasing, in which photons that follow random paths create a multiple-light-scattering laser. Contact: Steve Karsjen

Picturing proteins Electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques are making it possible for scientists to create 3-D images of protein complexes that are unsuitable for x-ray crystallography. Contact: Ron Kolb
19-Dec-2000
The crystal robot Innovative robotics designed and built by Lab researchers will grow protein crystals for experimentation at a rate once only dreamed of. Contact: Ron Kolb
19-Dec-2000
The machinery of life Scientists are using Berkeley Lab's state-of-the-art imaging resources to gain new insight into the structure and function of proteins, including those involved in cystic fibrosis. Contact: Ron Kolb
19-Dec-2000
Seeing the cell nucleus in 3-D A new microscopic program called daVinci is helping researchers better understand how breast cancer develops. Contact: Ron Kolb
31-Dec-1999
Evaluating vehicle emissions controls ORNL researchers are developing software tools for supercomputers that will simulate engine exhaust from various lean-burn diesel and gasoline engines as it flows through envisioned catalytic converters designed to chemically transform pollutants into harmless emissions. Contact: Billy Stair
31-Dec-1999
Polymers plus quasicrystals — A puzzling interaction Sometimes trying something that really shouldn't work can lead to an amazing discovery. That's what happened to Valerie Sheares, an Ames Laboratory associate and Iowa State University assistant professor of chemistry. The discovery, a polymer-quasicrystal composite, has the best characteristics of each of the constituent parts. It's opened the door for a variety of innovative uses. Why it works, however, remains a puzzle—one that Sheares is eager to solve. Contact: Steve Karsjen
