Synchrotron
A tiny ray of energy brighter than the sun helps scientists solve mysteries.
Cosmic Virtuoso
Most people would be satisfied to be a renowned professor of astrophysics at UC Berkeley ...
But for Dr. Chung-Pei Ma, a passion for music is as much a part of her life as studying the formation and evolution of the universe. She spends part of every day studying galaxies and the supermassive black holes at their center.
And when she feels her energy fading, she picks up the violin she has been playing since college. As she passionately plays, the galaxies somehow don't seem so far away after all.
Corpse Flower
This giant flower blooms only once every 13 years, emitting the fetid stench of decaying flesh as it does. It also pulsates with heat when it blooms, further attracting insects to do its pollination bidding.
Ukulele Revival
The ukulele might be enjoying a renaissance worldwide, but at one Bay Area institution, its popularity never faded. Inside his Berkeley workshop, Michael DaSilva is cultivating a ukulele community around his newfound love for the instrument.
