Accelerating Discovery in Biology, Bioenergy, and Environmental Research
Autonomous experimentation is an emerging area of research that has now been extended to infrared (IR) spatiochemical mapping of dynamic biological systems. Such approaches have been difficult to apply to these traditionally high-dimensional mapping technologies, which include scanning hyperspectral imaging of biological systems, due to the inherent complexity and heterogeneity of typical samples. In this Read More …
A multinational team of researchers, led in part by BSISB program director Hoi-Ying Holman, recently announced the discovery of a new type of aerosol-producing technology, dubbed the ‘whipping jet.’ Aerosol technology has the potential to impact many fields of science, from experimental studies of atmospheric aerosols to delivery of aerosolized medications. The collaboration included Martin Read More …
Understanding how climate change is affecting the Arctic landscape is no easy task. Neslihan Taş, a research scientist in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Area who is affiliated with the Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division, is studying how microbial processes shift as arctic permafrost melts. In 2016, Taş began collaborating with the Berkeley Synchrotron Read More …
