'Strange' glimpse into neutron stars and symmetry violation

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New results from precision particle detectors at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) offer a fresh glimpse of the particle interactions that take place in the cores of neutron stars and give nuclear physicists a new way to search for violations of fundamental symmetries in the universe.

Gold in limbo between solid and melted states

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Laser-induced melting occurs nonuniformly in polycrystalline gold thin films -- a finding that may be important for precision part micromachining.

Stunning images capture cosmic ray tracks

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

These images capture the movement and collisions of 'cosmic rays' --mysterious particles originating somewhere in deep space -- as they stream through the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The results are profoundly beautiful. Physicists conducting research at RHIC use these signals as a tool for calibrating RHIC's massive detectors.

Great neck south wins long island regional science bowls

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

On Thursday, Jan. 30 and Friday, Jan. 31, the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory held two back-to-back installments of the Long Island Science Bowl, a regional branch of DOE's 30th annual National Science Bowl® (NSB). In this fast-paced question-and-answer showdown, teams of students from across Long Island were tested on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, Earth science, physics, energy, and math.

Cathode 'defects' improve battery performance

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Chemists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have made a new finding about battery performance that points to a different strategy for optimizing cathode materials. Their research, published in Chemistry of Materials and featured in ACS Editors' Choice, focuses on controlling the amount of structural defects in the cathode material.

The Big Questions: Sally Dawson on the Higgs Boson

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Big Questions series features perspectives from the five recipients of the Department of Energy Office of Science's 2019 Distinguished Scientists Fellows Award describing their research and what they plan to do with the award. Sally Dawson is a senior scientist at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Monitoring intermediates in CO2 conversion to formate by metal catalyst

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The production of formate from CO2 is considered an attractive strategy for the long-term storage of solar renewable energy in chemical form.
