...Berkeley, where he has taught for 11 years, Sastry has built a support lab for the study of robotics. One of his latest projects has involved examining the transportation infrastructure of the country as an intelligent vehicle system...
...building fits the scientists like an enzymefits its substrate. For example, an innovativeframe support, called a gantry, stretches over thecourtyard from Anderson's second-floor lab. Whenhis group builds a particularly hefty apparatusand needs to ship it out, they can place it in alarge box, open the wide doors, and lower it usingthe gantry onto a truckbed below. From there, thetruck drives it to the airport for its tripsouth--to Antarctica. A well-placed gantry is agodsend...
...have these teas inviting people and it was just pitchers of martinis. We didn't have any beer; it was just martinis. When Dylan Thomas came, he didn't like martinis, he didn't like gin. He said it was the sort of thing made in a chemistry lab, and he said, "Oh scotch will...
...behest of the Administration. His past favoritism for the Li brothers and his past witchhunts for people who spoke out on the issue cannot be forgotten. It is our hope that Liem will see the writing on the wall and retire gracefully to his lab. Failing that, the Harvard administration should learn a few lessons itself and force Liem...
Even so, the newest superconductors may have trouble making it out of the lab into commercial products. Their biggest drawback: mercury is extremely toxic. But that doesn't diminish the importance of the discoveries. By * studying the mercury compounds, Chu and other scientists can learn more about what makes molecules become superconductors and how laboratory tricks can help the process along. The research has barely begun, and countless compounds remain to be tested. Chu intends to work his way through the periodic table, looking for promising elements to mix into his superconducting concoctions. What's a likely candidate? Well, says...
