The Phase Transition in VO2 Probed Using X-ray, Visible and Infrared Radiations

The nearly simultaneous Mott (electronic) and Peierls (structural) transitions in vanadium dioxide are of significant scientific interest and have tremendous technological promise in computing, memory, optics, and micromechanics. The cover features nanoscale-resolution maps of the Mott and Peierls transitions imaged simultaneously by Kumar et al. using state-of-the-art in situ STXM at the ALS. Read more »

SIBYLS Beamline Builds on Nobel Research

Often the full impact of a scientific discovery takes decades to realize, during which the research is developed further and adopted by other scientists. Such was the case for the work of biochemist Paul Modrich, one of three recipients of this year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source was a core resource Modrich used to build on his earlier work. Read more »

ALSNews Monthly Newsletter of the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Tracking the Elusive QOOH Radical For the first time, researchers directly observed QOOH molecules, a class of highly reactive molecules at the center of the web of ignition chemistry reactions. The data generated will improve the fidelity of combustion models used to createRead More Read more »

Notification of General User Proposal and Approved Program Results

The Proposal Study Panel (PSP) met April 23–24 to oversee and finalize the scoring of General User Proposals for the 2015-2 operating cycle, and to make recommendations to the ALS Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) on Approved Program applications. Allocation meetings for each beamline will take place in May. Read more »

2015 General User Proposals: Timeline for March 4 Submissions

The User Office received 279 new General User Proposals (GUPs) and 421 Beam Time Requests (BTRs) for the 2015-2 running cycle. The User Office has processed all the proposals. Users submitting new proposals should have received an email inviting them to log in to ALSHub to review the proposal PDF that will be sent to reviewers. Read more »

March 2015 Call for General User Proposals

The User Office is accepting new General User Proposals (GUPs) from scientists who wish to conduct research at the ALS in the July-December 2015 cycle. The proposal submission deadline is Wednesday, March 4. Users need to log in to ALSHub to submit a new GUP or to make a beam time request (BTR) for an existing active proposal. Read more about GUPs, how to apply for beamtime, maintaining an active proposal, and RAPIDD access proposals. Read more »

Solving Structures with Collaborative Crystallography

The Berkeley Center for Structural Biology’s Collaborative Crystallography (CC) program is making major advancements in solving protein structures, especially for users involved in high-throughput projects. The CC program is an NIH-funded, peer-reviewed service that allows external users to apply for both beam time and the support of a crystallographer to perform experiments and subsequent data analyses.
