From superconductors to snowboarding, Ming Yi sees the beauty of physics everywhere. She loves the sense of community in the synchrotron world and hopes users and staff will share their input with the Users’ Executive Committee. Read more »
Rapid 3D Visualization of Lung Cells Altered by SARS-CoV-2
In this work, researchers illustrated the potential of soft x-ray tomography to rapidly characterize and quantify the structural changes induced in cells infected by SARS-CoV-2, revealing profound alterations of the subcellular architecture induced by viral infection over time. Read more »
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.

ALS Scientists to Collaborate on Three DOE Small Business Awards
Three Bay Area companies have been awarded DOE Phase I small business grants to collaborate with ALS scientists to conduct R&D. Rochester Scientific and HighRi Optics will work with Valeriy Yashchuk and MLtwist will work with Alex Hexemer. Read more »
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 »
New Device Advances Commercial Viability of Solar Fuels
A Berkeley Lab research team developed a new artificial photosynthesis device component that exhibits remarkable stability and longevity as it selectively converts sunlight and carbon dioxide into two promising sources of renewable fuels—ethylene and hydrogen. Read more »
On-Site Access Procedures for Foreign Nationals
Foreign nationals who are planning to conduct experiments at the ALS should plan their visits at least two months in advance. The ALS website has the latest information on lead times and documentation required to process site access. Read more »
Alyssa Brand, Chemical Safety Specialist
Alyssa Brand recently joined the ALS safety team. She’s not new to the Lab—she previously worked at the Molecular Foundry and in the EH&S Division. She is excited to join the ALS and learn more about all the science going on here. Read more »
Update on Long-Term Operating Schedule
The operating schedule for the 2022-1 cycle has been published. The next long shutdown is expected to begin in January 2022 and last until mid-March. In the second cycle of 2022, we expect to have a total of eight weeks of shutdown time. The most up-to-date information on the current schedule and future outlook can always be found on the Operating Schedule web page. Read more »
Kenneth Goldberg Named 2022 Optica Fellow
Kenneth Goldberg, a staff scientist at the ALS and with the ALS-U Project, has been elected a 2022 Fellow of Optica (formerly OSA). His recognition is “for seminal contributions to the development of x-ray optics for applications requiring coherent light.” Read more »
