Abstract

BIG SCIENCETwo years ago, the future looked grim for the Advanced Light Source, a premier synchrotron at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. A 1997 report criticized the management of the facility and the quality of the science it produced, and the Department of Energy (DOE) responded by cutting its budget. But last week, a DOE advisory panel gave the synchrotron a glowing review, and DOE officials are now planning to boost its budget.
