Nuclear and hydrogen could be the ideal fuel for recharging electric trucks, opening potential markets for developers of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). That’s according to a University of Michigan study funded by Emerging Energy Markets Analysis, an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) initiative.

Through the Data4All High School Bridge workshop, high school students are learning invaluable lessons about data science and taking their first step towards data-focused STEM learning in college and beyond.

Experts from around the country traveled to Hauppauge, NY, to discuss research in advanced accelerator physics and technology as well as the application and impact of that work. The workshop presented a great opportunity to also spark the interest of students and engage local university faculty. Mark Palmer, of Brookhaven Lab’s Accelerator Test Facility, worked with DOE and the New York City College of Technology to give students an in-depth look at accelerator science through lectures, workshops, and an on-site laboratory tour.

Meet Adrien Florio, a postdoctoral research associate and fellow in Brookhaven Lab’s Nuclear Theory Group that is contributing his unique perspective and experience to the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage's theory and applications subthrust.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that will begin capturing collision snapshots for the first time next spring.

The Quantum Systems Accelerator, a U.S. Department of Energy National QIS Research Center, dedicates special efforts to quantum education, especially at the high school level, which traditionally has not been regarded as an entry point to QIS. The outreach should help fill the increasing number of job vacancies in this fast-growing and developing field.
