Is there a new path to biofuels hiding in a handful of dirt? Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) biologist Steve Singer leads a group that wants to find out.

For the past five years, volunteers from the City of Berkeley and surrounding areas have come to Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to participate in an ongoing study that's changing what scientists know about Alzheimer's disease.

In a cavern almost a mile underground in the Black Hills, an experiment called the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR , 40 kilograms of pure germanium crystals enclosed in deep-freeze cryostat modules, will soon set out to answer one of the most persistent and momentous questions in physics: are neutrinos their own antiparticles?

Ask a second-grader what computers are good for, and they are likely to answer enthusiastically: "Games!" Ask them how a computer works, and you're likely to get a shrug.

In the third year of the Early Career Research Program managed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, five researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) were on the list of 68 recipients from 47 institutions announced earlier this week.
