The current method of removing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the flues of coal-fired power plants uses so much energy that no one bothers to use it. So says Roger Aines, principal investigator for a team that has developed an entirely new catalyst for separating out and capturing carbon dioxide, one that mimics a naturally occurring catalyst operating in our lungs.

In experiments at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a powerful X-ray laser blasted solid carbon crystals into a liquid and plasma even faster than expected, raising new questions about how these intense beams interact with matter. The tests took place at the Linac Coherent Light Source, or LCLS, using a pioneering technique to simultaneously blast and probe samples of graphite, a pure form of carbon.

For the first time, scientists have seen an X-ray-irradiated mineral go to two different states of matter in about 40 femtoseconds. Using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University, Stefan Hau-Riege of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and colleagues heated graphite to induce a transition from solid to liquid and to warm-dense plasma.

The just-completed NDCX-II, the second generation Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is an unusual special-purpose particle accelerator built by the U.S. Department of Energy's Heavy Ion Fusion Science Virtual National Laboratory. The accelerator is a compact machine designed to produce a high-quality, dense beam that can rapidly deliver a powerful punch to a solid target.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has licensed its microbial detection array technology to a St. Louis, Mo.-based company, MOgene LC, a supplier of DNA microarrays and instruments. Known formally as the Lawrence Livermore Microbial Detection Array (LLMDA), the technology could enable professionals to detect within 24 hrs any virus or bacteria that has been sequenced and included among the array's probes.

A major effort to study a mysterious substance that could enhance understanding of the cosmos and fusion energy has received a critical boost from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). Scientists at PPPL have designed and delivered a crucial component for a device that can heat a spot of foil to 30,000 C in less than a billionth of a second.

Intended
to help cut red tape for business and startups wanting to do business
with the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s research laboratories, the new
Agreements for Commercializing Technology (ACT) program was recently
launched as a third alternative to the two preceding options: signing a
Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) or a Work For
Others (WFO) Agreement.
