KIDNEY-COOLING VIDEO – Click the image above to view a computer model (24 MB .avi file) of a kidney being cooled by ice slurry. The kidney is initially at a uniform 37 C (red) and is cooled over its entire surface by coating it with ice slurry at 0 C (blue). The model was created by Jimmy Chang using the ABAQUS computational code.

Argonne chemist Richard Rosenberg examines source material for an experiment to induce chirality into pre-biological systems at the Advanced Photon Source. Rosenberg used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to measure the secondary electron induced photolysis reaction rate of a model chiral compound adsorbed on a magnetic substrate. He found that changing the magnetization direction in relation to the high-intensity X-ray beam created an excess of one chirality over another.
