【 摘 要 】

This issue contains the following articles: (1) ''Addressing the Energy-Environment Challenge''. (2) ''Turning Carbon Directly into Electricity'' A new electrochemical process converts carbon particles, derived from any fossil fuel, directly into electricity without traditional steam-reforming reactors, boilers, and turbines. (3) ''Environmental Research in California and Beyond'' Numerous environmental research projects at Livermore begin by addressing California concerns and, as they proceed, arrive at solutions and develop analytical tools of use far beyond state borders. (4) ''This Nitrogen Molecule Really Packs Heat'' A buckyball of nitrogen could become a powerful new fuel or propellant. (5) ''PEREGRINE Goes to Work'' The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved a new system, developed at Livermore, for better radiation treatment of tumors.
