Nanoscale sculpturing leads to unusual packing of nanocubes

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Brookhaven and Columbia scientists found that cubic nanoparticles surrounded by thick DNA shells pack in a never-before-seen 'zigzag' pattern.

Brookhaven Lab and the Belle II Experiment

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Belle II experiment at Japan's SuperKEKB particle accelerator started its first physics run in late March. But a key part of the experiment is taking place half a world away, using computing resources and expertise at Brookhaven National Laboratory, the lead laboratory for U.S. collaborators on Belle II.

New approach for solving protein structures from tiny crystals

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have developed a new approach for solving atomic-scale 3-D protein structures from tiny crystals. The advance will open up this structural biology technique to a wide range of hard-to-crystallize proteins in bacteria, viruses, plants, and humans.

Plant cells eat their own ... membranes and oil droplets

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Biochemists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered two ways that autophagy, or self-eating, controls the levels of oils in plant cells. The study describes how this cannibalistic-sounding process actually helps plants survive, and suggests a way to get bioenergy crops to accumulate more oil.

New lens system for brighter, sharper diffraction images

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Now, a group of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new and improved version of electron diffraction at Brookhaven's Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) that offers advanced and unique experimental instrumentation for studying particle acceleration to researchers from all around the world.

Outside the Box Thinking for Unusual Nuclear Wastes

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

At CHWM, a close-knit team learns what it takes to store a highly radioactive subset of defense-related waste. The small batches contain troublemakers, such as cesium-packed liquids that evaporate during the conventional storage process. The CHWM team is doing foundational studies into materials that could contain the problematic subset away from the environment.

Catalyst renders nerve agents harmless

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of scientists has studied a catalyst that decomposes nerve agents, eliminating their harmful and lethal effects. The research was published Friday, April 19, in the Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.

Meet Diane Hatton: Project Planning, Tracking, and Team Building--the Secrets to Success

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Diane Hatton helped navigate the winding path to success for the National Synchrotron Light Source II project at Brookhaven Lab, and will bring her experience to future endeavors at the Lab.

Brookhaven joins the IBM Q Network Hub at Oak Ridge National Lab

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Business Announcement

Brookhaven will initially use IBM Q quantum systems to study superconductors and other materials with strong electronic correlations.

'Electron shuttle' protein plays key role in plant cell-wall construction

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists studying plant cell walls have discovered details of a protein involved in the assembly of lignin, a key cell-wall component. The protein acts as a targeted 'electron shuttle,' delivering the 'fuel' that drives the construction of one specific lignin building block. Controlling the flow of electrons by modifying shuttle proteins could be a new strategy for guiding plants to make desired products.
