How Shark Egg Cases Balance Toughness and Permeability
Also known as “mermaid’s purses,” shark egg cases are both tough and permeable—two opposing characteristics that are necessary for the embryo’s survival. X-ray scattering at the ALS and electron microscopy helped explain how the material’s nanoarchitecture contributes to its toughness, informing future development of high-performance synthetic materials.

Spectral Phenotyping for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease
Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease may soon be within reach, thanks to spectral phenotyping. Using infrared spectroscopy, Berkeley Lab researchers developed this technique to detect the subtle biochemical changes in a “cellular fingerprint” that is characteristic of the devastating disease.

Reshaping the World of Research Through Remote Experimentation
At a time when the need was greater than ever, seven user research facilities formed a team of experts, the Remote Access Working Group (RAWG), to figure out how their institutions could keep the science going even when the researchers couldn’t access them in person. Read more »
March 2 Deadline 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 2022-2 (August–December) cycle. The deadline for submissions is March 2, 2022. Applicants are reminded that they may request joint access to the Molecular Foundry, a nanoscience user facility at Berkeley Lab, to support their ALS activities. Read more »
In Memoriam: Malcolm Howells, X-Ray Optics and Imaging Pioneer
