Profiles of the 2012 Distinguished Teaching Award recipients.
The Berkeley campus' most prestigious award for teaching, the Distinguished Teaching Award is intended to encourage and recognize individual excellence in teaching. Such teaching rises above good teaching: it incites intellectual curiosity in students, engages them thoroughly in the enterprise of learning, and has a life-long impact.
"Leading the Way to Smart Growth: Lessons from Silicon Valley"
Speaker: Carl Guardino, President and CEO, Silicon Valley Leadership Group
The Silicon Valley Leadership Group is a public policy organization that represents over 285 of Silicon Valleys most respected companies. The Leadership Group is devoted to bringing together business executives and government officials to address major public policy issues affecting the economic health and quality of life in the Santa Clara Valley Region. Come learn how this collaborative high tech business group shapes regional planning policies and delivers results in innovative solutions to the toughest challenges facing Silicon Valley.

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found the mechanism by which titanium, prized for its strength becomes brittle with just a few extra atoms of oxygen.
“Oxygen is like poison to titanium,” said study senior author Andrew Minor, an associate professor of materials science and engineering and faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. “With more oxygen, the material gets harder and more susceptible to cracks, qualities that are not desirable for structural materials,” said Minor.

Physics 111 Advanced Laboratory. Professor Sumner Davis
This video part 1 accompanies the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Experiment, providing students with an introduction to the theory, apparatus, and procedures.
In the NMR experiment, nuclear dipoles (the samples) are subjected to a static magnetic field of about 4000 gauss as well as a time-varying radio-frequency magnetic field perpendicular to the static field. The static field causes Zeeman-effect splitting between sub-states, and the radio frequency field is tuned to the Larmor frequency so that it induces transitions between the sub-states. The resonance condition is observed using the Bloch two-coil induction technique. You will observe proton and fluorine nuclei. You will learn techniques of lock-in detection and signal averaging.
