New 'genomic' method reveals atomic arrangements of battery material

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have developed a new way to decipher the atomic-level structure of materials based on data gleaned from ground-up powder samples. They describe their approach and demonstrate its ability to solve the structure of a material that shows promise for shuttling ions through sodium-ion batteries.

ATLAS Experiment upgrade wins DOE project management award

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

In recognition of project management excellence, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the U.S. ATLAS Phase I Detector Upgrade team, led by DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University, with the Secretary's Achievement Award. The upgrade is one of only three projects to be honored with a DOE project management award this year.

IBM investigates microelectronics at NSLS-II

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

IBM researchers used the Hard X-ray Nanoprobe at NSLS-II to visualize strain in a new architecture for next-generation microelectronics.

CERN senior fellow Dorota Grabowska receives Leona Woods Lectureship Award

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Dorota Grabowska, a senior fellow in the department of theoretical physics at CERN, Europe's particle physics laboratory, has been named a recipient of the Leona Woods Distinguished Postdoctoral Lectureship Award.

Steady progress in the battle against COVID-19

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are making progress on several fronts in the battle against COVID-19, the global pandemic sparked by the emergence of a novel coronavirus late last year.

Key partners mark launch of Electron-Ion Collider project

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

US Department of Energy (DOE) Undersecretary for Science Paul Dabbar, leaders from DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven Lab) and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), and elected officials from New York State and Virginia today commemorated the start of the Electron-Ion Collider project.

New calculation refines comparison of matter with antimatter

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An international collaboration of theoretical physicists has published a new calculation relevant to the search for an explanation of the predominance of matter over antimatter in our universe. The new calculation gives a more accurate prediction for the likelihood with which kaons decay into a pair of electrically charged pions vs. a pair of neutral pions.

Quirky response to magnetism presents quantum physics mystery

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a new study just published and highlighted as an Editor's Suggestion in Physical Review Letters, scientists describe the quirky behavior of one such magnetic topological insulator. The paper includes experimental evidence that intrinsic magnetism in the bulk of manganese bismuth telluride (MnBi2Te4) also extends to the electrons on its electrically conductive surface. Such materials could be just right for making qubits, but this one doesn't obey the rules.
