The ALS UEC met last week to discuss the upcoming User Meeting, solicitation of new UEC members, and the pending update for the ALS UEC website. Read more »
Molecular Switch Triggers Bacterial Pathogenicity
Using an array of high-powered x-ray imaging techniques at the ALS, scientists have revealed for the first time the molecular steps that turn on bacteria’s pathogenic genes. The study could open up new avenues in the development of drugs to prevent or treat bacterial infection. Read more »

Around the ALS in Photos: Plant-a-thon!
To resolve open questions about plant plumbing–how plants transport water from roots through stems and how they respond to stresses such as drought–science teams from around the world met September 1-3 at the ALS for an intensive round of x-ray and other experiments. See photos of the event in our photo essay. Read more »

Shedding Light on Postdocs
Postdocs are a significant portion of Berkeley Lab’s workforce, and the same is true at the ALS, where 42 postdocs are currently employed by or receiving a stipend from the ALS. To provide a forum and resources for this large contingent at the Lab, the Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association (BLPA) was recently established by a small group of postdocs. Read more »
Researchers Peel Back Another Layer of Chemistry with ‘Tender’ X-Rays
Scientists can now directly probe a previously hard-to-see layer of chemistry, which forms in a narrow band where liquid meets solid, thanks to a unique x-ray toolkit developed at Berkeley Lab. Read more »
A Surface Treatment for Improving Fuel-Cell Cathodes
Solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a promising path toward the “clean” conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy with little or no carbon dioxide emission. With the help of the ALS, researchers from MIT recently found a way to treat SOFC cathode surfaces so that they perform better and last longer. Read more »
