Science at the Theater: Hot Technology, Cool Science

Great innovations start with bold ideas. Learn how Berkeley Lab scientists are devising practical solutions to everything from global warming to how you get to work.

On May 11, 2009, five Berkeley Lab scientists participated in a roundtable dicussion — moderated by KTVU's John Fowler — on their leading-edge research. This "Science at the Theater" event, held at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, featured technologies such as cool roofs, battery-driven transportation, a pocket-sized DNA probe, green supercomputing, and a noncontact method for restoring damaged and fragile mechanical recordings. http://www.lbl.gov/friendsofscience/index.html
