Theory paper offers alternate explanation for particle patterns

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A group of physicists analyzing the patterns of particles emerging from collisions of small projectiles with large nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) say these patterns are triggered by quantum mechanical interactions among gluons, the glue-like particles that hold together the building blocks of the projectiles and nuclei. This explanation differs from that given by physicists running the PHENIX experiment at RHIC, setting the stage for a scientific debate.

Biophysicist William Studier elected Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

F. William Studier, a Senior Biophysicist Emeritus at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry at Stony Brook University, has been elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Studier is best known for his invention of an efficient system for engineering common E. coli bacteria to produce almost any desired protein from a cloned gene.

Compelling evidence for small drops of perfect fluid

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Nuclear physicists analyzing data from the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published additional evidence that collisions of miniscule projectiles with gold nuclei create tiny specks of the perfect fluid that filled the early universe.

Scientists enter unexplored territory in superconductivity search

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists mapping out the quantum characteristics of superconductors -- materials that conduct electricity with no energy loss -- have entered a new regime. Using newly connected tools named OASIS at Brookhaven Lab, they've uncovered previously inaccessible details of the 'phase diagram' of one of the most commonly studied 'high-temperature' superconductors.

Light-activated, single-ion catalyst breaks down carbon dioxide

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team of scientists has discovered a single-site, visible-light-activated catalyst that converts carbon dioxide (CO2) into 'building block' molecules that could be used for creating useful chemicals. The discovery opens the possibility of using sunlight to turn a greenhouse gas into hydrocarbon fuels.
