  19. Trees may warm the planet Planting trees across the United States and Europe to absorb carbon dioxide emitted by the burning of fossil fuels may outweigh the positive effects of sequestering that CO². Using climate models, researchers from DOE's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Carnegie Institution Department of Global Ecology found that forests in the mid-latitude regions of the Earth tend to warm the planet in the long run. The darkness of these forests absorbs abundant sunlight, warming the land. While the darkness of the forest lasts forever, the effect of the forest sequestering carbon dioxide slows down over time as the atmosphere exchanges CO² with the ocean. However, the story is different for the tropical forests. In tropical regions, forests help keep the Earth cool by not only absorbing carbon dioxide, but by evaporating plenty of water as well.

  20. Thin-film tech may reduce battery bane The ORNL-developed Thin-Film Array Slide pictured here allows biological samples such as proteins, whole cells or tissue samples to be analyzed in an environment where the samples can retain their native chemical activity. The technology is powered by thin film lithium batteries, the two gray squares on the gold disc shown here. Those toys that Santa left under the tree were great fun as they drained their batteries. Advances in rechargeable thin-film lithium battery technology at DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory might one day provide a solution to the dead-battery dilemma. Thin-film lithium batteries last longer, recharge faster and because they are solid are much less prone to leakage, corrosion and freezing. While still years from replacing cheap alkaline batteries in toys, the technology has other potential holiday applications, such as being used for radio frequency identification for holiday packages and "smart card" transactions during holiday spending.

  47. Creating nanotube networks in no time Hexagonal networks of nanotubes appear when enough copper atoms penetrate the surface layers of a vanadium selenide crystal. Researchers at DOE's National Center for Electron Microscopy at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Kiel have found a new way to form complex networks of nanotubes on the surface of vanadium selenide, a layered crystal. Copper atoms infiltrate the crystal for several minutes in high vacuum. Then hexagonal networks of tubes, intricately branched and connected, form in less than a second. The copper initiates a phase change in the topmost layers, which expand and glide over the underlying layers. A network of prismatic folds results, having the cross section of a pitched roof four nanometers high.

  64. Scientists study dynamics that create and sustain fluid vortices The computer-generated circulation patterns created in the experiments are reminiscent of Vincent Van Gogh's impressionist masterpiece "Starry Night." Scientists at DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have developed a new theory that for the first time quantitatively describes the physical process of how small-scale swirling patterns in fluids, or vortices, can become large-scale, long-lasting circulation patterns, like Jupiter's red spot. Through both computer modeling and laboratory experiments on thin salt-water layers, the scientists were able to observe the physical processes and measure the energy transfer of two-dimensional inverse energy cascades in turbulent fluids. Their findings confirmed theories that the energy transfer by stretching of small-scale vortices sustains the large-scale vortices.
