In conjunction with the recent selection of Dr. Steven Chu as the next United States Secretary of Energy by President-elect Barack Obama, a quality high-level compilation of information about Dr. Chu and his research has been made available on the web at http://www.osti.gov/accomplishments/chu.html [1].  This web page includes scientific documents that he authored, including his Ph.D. thesis supported by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA); interviews, speeches, and presentations; and links to related web sites.

Dr. Chu has been director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory [2] (LBNL) since August 2004 and received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics [3] "for development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light".

 DOE R&D Accomplishments [4] is a central forum for information about the outcomes of past DOE R&D that have had significant economic        impact, have improved people's lives, or have been widely recognized as remarkable advances in science.  Over sixty (60) pages featuring either DOE-associated scientists/Nobel Laureates and/or selected topics are available in addition to the feature page about Dr. Chu.
