Tethered chem combos could revolutionize artificial photosynthesis

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have doubled the efficiency of a chemical combo that captures light and splits water molecules so the building blocks can be used to produce hydrogen fuel. Their approach provides a platform for developing revolutionary improvements in so-called artificial photosynthesis -- a lab-based mimic of the natural process aimed at generating clean energy from sunlight.

The secret behind crystals that shrink when heated

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists at Brookhaven Lab have new experimental evidence and a predictive theory that solves a long-standing materials science mystery: why certain crystalline materials shrink when heated. Their work could have widespread application for matching material properties to specific applications in medicine, electronics, and other fields, and may even provide fresh insight into unconventional superconductors.

Neutrino physicist Kirsty Duffy receives Leona Woods Lectureship Award

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Kirsty Duffy, a Lederman Fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), says neutrinos are the most interesting particles in the universe. As a recipient of the Leona Woods Distinguished Postdoctoral Lectureship Award, she'll have a chance to make her case in two talks she'll deliver at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory this November.

NSLS-II celebrates its 5th anniversary

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

On this day five years ago, the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) achieved 'first light' -- its first successful delivery of x-ray beams. Signaling the start of operations at NSLS-II -- one of the world's most advanced synchrotron light sources -- Oct. 23, 2014 marked a new era of synchrotron science.
