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.

VIDEO: 5,000 Robots Merge to Map the Universe in 3D

Image - This three-minute video describes the focal plane, a key component for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. The focal plane will be equipped with 5,000 swiveling robots that are designed to point at pre-selected galaxies and gather their light. The measurements will be used to build the largest 3D map of the universe. (Credit: Marilyn Chung/Berkeley Lab)

Light-Emitting Nanoparticles Could Provide a Safer Way to Image Living Cells

Image - Light emitted by nanoparticles injected into the mammary fat pads of a live mouse is imaged through several millimeters of tissue. This sequence shows how the light emitted by these laser-excited particles can be imaged through deep tissue two hours after injection (left), four hours after injection (center), and six hours after injection (right).
