A technology designed for high-energy physics helped revolutionize medical imaging, thanks to Berkeley Lab's team science model. Physicist Steve Holland developed an ultra-sensitive charge-coupled device (CCD) and photodiode for a new gamma ray detector in a supercollider project. The supercollider project was cancelled, but William Moses, in Berkeley Lab's biosciences area, … [Read more...] about Digirad – From Physics to Physicals

Metal-organic Frameworks for the Conversion of Lignocellulosic Derivatives to Renewable Platform Chemicals such as HMF 2014-138
APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY: Biobased fuel and chemical production ABSTRACT: The production of fuels and chemicals from lignocellulose-derived 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) is important to the biobased fuel and chemical industry because HMF can be further converted to C9-C15 alkanes, 2,5-dimethylfuran, ethyl levulinate, 5-(alkoxymethyl)furfurals, and … [Read more...] about Metal-organic Frameworks for the Conversion of Lignocellulosic Derivatives to Renewable Platform Chemicals such as HMF 2014-138
