Giving Cancer the One-Two Punch
Ames Lab's 1998 R&D 100 award-winning technology unites two established analytical
methods, creating a novel device that may pack the power to take cancer down for the
count.
Power to the People
Three Ames Lab researchers are hoping that magnesium will rev up a new class of
rechargeable batteries that will be powerful, inexpensive and environmentally safe.
On Thin Ice
Polar bear sightings, 24-hour daylight and knee-deep puddles of slush ... in the search
for answers to questions on global warming, Jim Liljegren didn't mind enduring a few
hardships.
Simple Systems
Small structures composed of molecules containing a dozen or fewer interacting magnetic
ions are a dream come true for physicists who are investigating molecular magnetism.
The Dragonslayers
Mufit Akinc is on a quest for the Holy Grail of materials science -- a high-temperature
material to replace superalloys in the next generation of automobile and airplane engines.
A Case for Clusters
Ames Lab researchers are achieving supercomputing power for far less cost by improving the
communication between personal computers in PC cluster networks.
Seeing the Forest from the Trees
John McClelland and Roger Jones have found a new application for a tried-and-true
technique. Learn how transient infrared spectrometry is being applied to the paper
industry.
