Mueller Lab

Physics lab at Berkeley - atom interferometry, electron microscopy, and laser physics for studies from fundamental physics to biology.

It won't be long and physics will be overrun by AI slop, mark my words. It's a disaster waiting to happen for academia that has been optimizing for quantity over quality for decades, you can basically see it coming.

@IsraelF96135088 Not yet... the microscope is commercial but the phase plate homemade. But ThermoFisher is working on it.

Singing off on Theia - Laser phase plate installation can begin!

Leaving China now after the tomography conference and giving talks. It's very impressive with a lot of smart hard working people doing ambitious science.

The infrastructure also strikes as new and well designed, clearly research is the priority here.
Wish you all luck 🤞 🥠 🤞

Direct interaction between a pulsed #laser beam and #ultrafast-timed #electron packets in free space may enhance contrast in #cryoEM and #cryoET

@shanmeltzer One hour with an expert saves one week reading

Reserve mornings for thinking. Keep notes.

Have lunch with friends and people you can learn from

Help someone.

Hire great people and be loyal to them

A great admin

Go running

Interesting study using a Fabry-Pérot resonator #laser #PhasePlate for #cryoEM from @TheMuellerLab & Bob Glaeser

@skdh If this happened at my university (unfortunately, it might...), you could approach the Physics Department, explaining how it happened and asking hem to help out (even if the Department didn't cause the problem either, they might still want to be part of the solution). Good luck!

Stanley Hall's newest resident has arrived: Theia! The new @thermofisher microscope on the @UCBerkeley campus will be outfitted with the laser phase plate. Thanks to @TheMuellerLab with support from @cziscience!

Today in #PHY595 #QuantumComputing: The final exam! It's comprehensive but emphasizes the more recent material on quantum protocols and quantum algorithms.

Working 24 years in cryo-EM now, with an engineering background, it was such a great honor, and fantastic learning experience, visiting Holger’s lab. Greatest most knowledgeable team I’ve ever met!

It cannot be done, they said.. It's too flexible, they said.. 😁

Theia's (new phase-plate microscope's) lab is being finished. Looks like we'll be ready for the installation in April!
