New Building Will House Large Project Teams

Construction has begun on a new building that will provide additional space for staff working on the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) project. The 8,000-square-foot prefab modular unit going up alongside the project's existing quarters in Bldg. 817 will add 30 offices and 11 cubicles to the available space. NSLS-II project staff also occupy Bldg. 830M, across the street from 817, and both buildings are filled to capacity.

2. Lost in the middle: author order matters, new paper says
   11-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   With research typically being conducted by large teams of scientists, it is now commonplace for a paper to boast as many authors as a basketball team's starting lineup. According to a new study, credit for those papers is far from evenly distributed, and the order in which the authors' names appear can make the difference between who receives tenure and who does not.

   11-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Staring for the equivalent of every night for two weeks at the same little patch of sky with ESO's Very Large Telescope, an international team of astronomers has found the extremely faint light from teenage galaxies billions of light years away. These galaxies, which the research team believes are the building blocks of normal galaxies like our Milky Way, had eluded detection for three decades, despite intensive searches.

   A team of UCLA and Caltech chemists reports in the January 25 issue of the journal Nature the successful demonstration of a large-scale (160 kilobit) memory device that stores information using reconfigurable molecular switches. This research represents an important step toward the creation of molecular computers that are much smaller and could be more powerful than today's silicon-based computers.

   Pratim Biswas of Washington University in St. Louis conducts research on nanoparticles, which are the building blocks for nanotechnology. For the first time, Biswas has shown that he can independently control the size of the nanoparticles that he makes, keeping their other properties the same. He's also shown with his technique that the nanoparticles can be made in large quantities in scalable systems, opening up the possibility for more applications and different techniques.

   11-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An international team led by scientists from the United States and New Zealand have observed, for the first time, the bizarre deep-sea communities living around methane seeps off New Zealand's east coast. This is the first time cold seeps have been viewed and sampled in the southwest Pacific. Cold seeps are areas of the seafloor where methane gas or hydrogen sulphide escapes from large stores deep below.

10. Forests damaged by Hurricane Katrina become major carbon source
    11-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
    With the help of NASA satellite data, a research team has estimated that Hurricane Katrina killed or severely damaged 320 million large trees in Gulf Coast forests, which weakened the role the forests play in storing carbon from the atmosphere. The damage has led to these forests releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
