Sarah Tolbert to Chair ALS General Sciences Proposal Study Panel
The General Sciences Proposal Study Panel (PSP) oversees the evaluation of General User and Approved Program proposals for the general sciences, meeting twice yearly. Beginning October 1, 2018, Sarah Tolbert (UCLA) will serve as chair, taking over from long-time chair Peter Johnson (Brookhaven). Read more »
Registration Opens Next Week for the 2018 ALS User Meeting: October 2–4
This year’s user meeting features an exciting new format designed especially with students and early career scientists in mind. In addition to the always-popular science workshops, the UEC is pleased to announce more tutorials geared towards introducing new and seasoned users to various techniques, tools, and instrumentation. We will also celebrate the ALS’s 25th anniversary with retrospective talks about how the ALS was built and how our science has evolved over time. Read more »
Join the ALS Live on Facebook on Friday, July 27
A Berkeley Lab livestream event will take you inside the ALS on Friday, July 27, from 1:30-2:00 pm PT. The event is geared toward all ages, so tell your favorite young scientists to tune in at https://facebook.com/BerkeleyLab/. Sol Omolayo will show how vacuums keep the ALS running, and Monika Blum and Ethan Crumlin will explain the work at their beamline.
A Designed Material Untangles Long-Standing Puzzle
The origin of the metal-to-insulator transition in a key material system was revealed by nanostructures designed to decouple simultaneous phase transitions. This approach could lead to new materials with emergent physics and unique electronic properties, supporting broader research efforts to revolutionize modern electronics. Read more »
Open and Shut: Pain Signals in Nerve Cells
Researchers used x-ray data to define the structure of a closed protein gate important for neuronal signaling. Comparing the closed gate with previously known structures of the same gate when open, researchers now have a comprehensive picture of proton-dependent channels in neurons. Read more »
Bjoern Enders, Physics Postdoctoral Fellow
Bjoern Enders joined the ALS as a postdoc in July 2016. He first worked on Beamline 5.3.2.1 before moving to Beamline 7.0.1 (COSMIC) when 5.3.2.1 was disassembled and the ptychography program was moved in the summer of 2017. His research is part of the NSF Science and Technology Center STROBE. Read more »
September 5 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 2019-1 (January–July) cycle. The deadline for submissions is September 5, 2018. 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 »
Structures Reveal New Target for Malaria Vaccine
Researchers isolated human-derived antibodies that protect against malaria, and protein-structure studies revealed the antibodies’ site of attack. The discovery paves the way for the development of a more effective and practical human vaccine for malaria, which is responsible for half a million deaths every year. Read more »
Experimental Evidence of Chiral Ferrimagnetism in Amorphous GdCo Films
Harnessing high‐resolution Lorentz microscopy, Robert Streubel and co‐workers visualize chiral ferrimagnetic domain walls in amorphous films, revealing a composition dependence that potentially enables a temperature control of intrinsic domain wall properties. The reconstructed electron phase (magnetic induction) of achiral Bloch domain walls is shown here. Read more »
