Topping Off a Telescope with New Tools to Explore Dark Energy

Photo - Crews at the Mayall Telescope near Tucson, Arizona, lift and install the top-end components for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI. The components, which include a stack of six lenses and other structures or positioning and support, weigh about 12 tons. DESI, scheduled to begin its sky survey next year, is designed to produce the largest 3-D map of the universe and produce new clues about the nature of dark energy.

Scientists Bring Polymers Into Atomic-Scale Focus

Image - This image shows a rendering (gray and pink) of the molecular structure of a peptoid polymer that was studied by a team led by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley. The team’s success in imaging the atomic-scale structure of polymers could inform new designs for plastics, like those in the water bottles shown in the background.
