Now, Berkeley scientists have fashioned the first transistors from a molecule of carbon . Recent evidence shows that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. Furthermore, the data strongly suggest that an unidentified form of energy is the cause of the accelerating expansion. Light from distant exploding stars carries telltale clues that can resolve this enigma. Scientists propose to launch a satellite named SNAP on a mission to discover the nature of the dark energy .
Proteins are the building blocks of living cells.
A national project has been launched to identify and create an inventory of all the protein structure families that exist in nature . Electronic fabrication processes may be on the verge of creating a new generation of high-tech catalysts .
