Imagine getting an entire health workup just by having your picture taken -- no invasive poking or prodding, not even a pinprick blood test. That's a goal ecologists have for monitoring the health of plants. Their cameras would be high-resolution sensors mounted on drones or satellites, capable of capturing much more than what's visible to the naked eye. Brookhaven Lab scientists have developed robust models to translate 'spectral fingerprints' into information scientists can use to address challenges in agriculture, ecology, and more.

Brookhaven scientists organize communications session and panel at Institute for Nuclear Materials Management annual meeting.

Vanessa Sanders, an assistant scientist in the Medical Isotope Research & Production Program at Brookhaven National Laboratory, works in a cutting-edge area of radiochemistry research known as "theragnostics"--the use of chemically related radioactive isotopes in drugs that are both therapeutic and diagnostic.

Stephanie Taboada and Nylette Lopez are spending the summer exploring catalysts for a reaction known as 'dry methane reforming,' which could potentially convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane -- greenhouse gases we'd like to keep out of Earth's atmosphere -- into 'syngas,' a feedstock for making other useful chemicals.

Nuclear physicists conducting research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) traded shift time for presentations on the latest successes and plans for the future at the 2019 RHIC & AGS (Alternating Gradient Synchrotron) Users' Meeting June 4-7. Even as RHIC's beams continued to collide for the completion of Run 19, there was plenty to celebrate in terms of machine performance and scientific highlights at this U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
