		Chu's laboratory is providing some of the first detailed studies of the behavior of individual polymers that, not surprisingly, are revealing that they don't act in exactly the way that scientists had expected.
		He and Chu found that a single strand of polymer immersed in water obeys the same simple law of motion as a plucked guitar string.
		Chu's second study, performed with graduate students Thomas T. Perkins and Douglas E. Smith, was published in the June 27 issue of the journal Science.

		Chu is professor of physics and applied physics at Stanford University.
		Chu was one of the first scientists to figure out how laser beams could be used to exert forces on a small particle, such as a biological cell.
		Chu also invented optical "molasses" in which laser beams can be used to slow individual atoms down to such a slow speed that they acquire a temperature only a very small fraction of a degree above absolute zero.

		In the fall of 1987, Steven Chu had just taken a position as professor of physics at Stanford University.
		Atoms in a gas at room temperature zip around at about 4,000 kilometers per hour, but Chu uses the light from lasers to "cool" gases to temperatures in the microkelvin range, which slows the atoms to speeds of a few tens of centimeters per second.
		Chu says that laser light acts as a sort of optical molasses.

		STEVEN CHU: Perhaps not a complete surprise but because every time about this time friends who mean well might say, well, here's hoping, and so there's a bit of agitation that I try very much to ignore these things and just proceed with my life.
		STEVEN CHU: We--meaning my colleagues at Bell Labs and also Bill Phillips and his group and Claude Cohen-Tanoudji and his group had developed techniques to cool atoms in a gas phase.
		STEVEN CHU: Potentially because there are other issues that might cloud the accuracy of these measurements.

	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Steven Chu on Termite Guts and Global Warming
		Steven Chu is the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a premier government-funded scientific institutions.
		A specialist in both physics and biology, Dr. Chu has taken as his primary goal the development of carbon-neutral energy systems able to replace our current fossil-fuel economy -- and thinks that the solution may well come from termites (or the bacteria inside of them, to be precise).
		Readers may disagree with some of Chu's ideas -- he's a cautious supporter of nuclear fission, for example -- but he's likely correct about the role of bioengineered bacteria in the shift away from fossil fuels.
