10.13.14 Alphabet Energy introduced its first product, E1. The thermoelectric generator attaches to an exhaust stack and uses Alphabet Energy's thermoelectric materials to convert exhaust heat into electricity. The product launch was covered by Gigaom and MIT Technology Review, among others. Watch the video introduction of E1 here. Second Genome joined the Mayo Clinic … [Read more...] about Berkeley Lab Startups in the News
Phylogenetic Probes for Quanitifcation of Stable Isotope Labeling and Microbial Community Analysis IB-2774A
ABSTRACT: A high-sensitivity means to measure the incorporation of stable isotope labeled substrates into RNA following stable isotope probing experiments (SIP). RNA is hybridized to a set of probes such as phylogenetic microarrays and isotope incorporation is quantified such as by secondary ion mass spectrometer imaging (NanoSIMS). The technology can track the update of … [Read more...] about Phylogenetic Probes for Quanitifcation of Stable Isotope Labeling and Microbial Community Analysis IB-2774A
Nanowire Mesh Solar Fuels Generator IB-2975

Dark-Colored Cool Pigments for Materials Exposed to the Sun IB-3039
For the building and automobile industries in need of dark-colored products that can stay cool in the sun, this technology uses fluorescent materials that re-radiate absorbed light rather than converting it all to heat. The Berkeley Lab invention promises a solar reflectance over 0.5 in dark colors — a significant improvement over commercially available … [Read more...] about Dark-Colored Cool Pigments for Materials Exposed to the Sun IB-3039
Advanced Penning Ion Source IB-3139
The Berkeley Lab Advanced Penning Ion Source offers neutron generator manufacturers and the medical, security, and materials analysis industries a simple, low cost solution that can boost source performance in conventional technologies by improving the atomic ion fraction and ion current density without increasing the power consumption of commercially available Penning ion … [Read more...] about Advanced Penning Ion Source IB-3139
