Cell membrane proteins imaged in 3D

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of scientists including researchers at the National Synchrotron Light Source II have demonstrated a new technique for imaging proteins in 3D with nanoscale resolution. Their work, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, enables researchers to identify the precise location of proteins within individual cells, reaching the resolution of the cell membrane and the smallest subcellular organelles.

Researchers working on computational models to design ways to treat COVID-19

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A team of Stony Brook University (SBU) researchers is working on computer models that could help speed the discovery of drugs to combat the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. They are doing this work in collaboration with scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory, and will be leveraging those laboratories' computational resources and expertise.

Brookhaven lab mobilizes resources in fight against COVID-19

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists and staff at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are marshalling their expertise, unique facilities, and other key resources in the battle against COVID-19.

Scientists see energy gap modulations in a cuprate superconductor

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists studying high-Tc superconductors at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have definitive evidence for the existence of a state of matter known as a pair density wave -- first predicted by theorists some 50 years ago. Their results show that this phase coexists with superconductivity in a well-known bismuth-based copper-oxide superconductor.
