The Advanced Light Source held a workshop for local teachers in 1996. Hands-on classroom activities on electricity, magnets, and polarized light created for that workshop, and several other fact sheets about the ALS, are available below. These materials are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and/or print them; go to Adobe's web site for easy instructions on how to download this free software...

Welcome! MicroWorlds is an interactive tour of current research in the materials sciences at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source. Along the way, you'll find out: * What the Advanced Light Source is and how this amazing machine works. * What it looks like inside the ALS. * What it's like to work at the ALS. * What a student can do at the ALS. * What polymers are and why they are so useful. * How infinitesimal quantities of trace elements can change a material for better or worse. * How materials science is helping us understand environmental problems...

Monday, Jan. 24, 2011 Lab Launches Info-Gathering Process for Second Campus Earlier this month, Berkeley Lab issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for a second campus to consolidate current programs that are located in space spread throughout the Bay Area, and to prepare for long-term future growth. The RFQ seeks...
