Summer students tackle COVID-19

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit , many students whose academic year had already been radically transformed also had to rejigger summer plans. Internships they'd expected to be in-person moved to all-virtual formats. For more than 30 students participating in virtual summer programs at Brookhaven Lab, that disruption presented an opportunity--a chance to engage in research related to the virus responsible for the upheaval.

Blocking the COVID-19 virus's exit strategy

Brookhaven Lab partners in new $40M research center to convert sunlight to liquid fuels

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Chemists from DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory will be key partners in a new research effort, dubbed the Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE), to be led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, aimed at developing hybrid photoelectrodes for converting sunlight into liquid fuels.

Ready to join the fight against COVID-19

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

On July 29, 2020 the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory opened a new cryo-electron microscopy center, the Laboratory for BioMolecular Structure (LBMS), with an initial focus on COVID-19-related research.

Charm quarks offer clues to confinement

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an atom smasher at Brookhaven Lab, revealed many more three-quark particles than would have been expected by a widely accepted explanation of how quarks come together. The results suggest that quarks in the dense particle soup created at RHIC recombine directly, and may offer new insight into how quarks build up the structure of visible matter in our world.

Brookhaven and Forge Nano to mature noble gas-trapping technology

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Grant and Award Announcement

Through a US Department of Energy Technology Commercialization Fund project supported by the Office of Nuclear Energy, national lab and industry scientists will develop xenon- and krypton-trapping "nanocages" to improve nuclear power production and waste remediation.

Drones help calibrate radio telescope at Brookhaven Lab

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Researchers are using drones to calibrate a prototype radio telescope at Brookhaven Lab. This work may lead to a much larger radio telescope, which could reveal the nature of dark energy and the universe's accelerated expansion.

New effort to link plant genes to functions in bioenergy crops

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A new Quantitative Plant Science Initiative led by Brookhaven Lab aims to decode the functions of genes and their impacts on productivity to guide efforts to develop sustainable bioenergy crops.

Celebrating 20 years of smashing success at RHIC

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Let's wind back the clock and take a look at the lead-up to RHIC's first collisions with these excerpts from the Brookhaven Bulletin. As you'll see, getting a complicated particle collider up and running takes a lot of teamwork and coordinated effort. And it isn't always a straight-line path! Then some reflections from the present and on to the future.
