Detecting light in a different dimension

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists from the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN)--a US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory--have dramatically improved the response of graphene to light through self-assembling wire-like nanostructures that conduct electricity.

Single atoms break carbon's strongest bond

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An international team of scientists including researchers at Yale University and the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new catalyst for breaking carbon-fluorine bonds, one of the strongest chemical bonds known. The discovery, published on Sept. 10 in ACS Catalysis, is a breakthrough for efforts in environmental remediation and chemical synthesis.

How a molecular signal helps plant cells decide when to make oil

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists identify new details of how a sugar-signaling molecule helps regulate oil production in plant cells. The work could point to new ways to engineer plants to produce substantial amounts of oil for use as biofuels or in the production of other oil-based products.

STAR team receives Secretary's Achievement Award

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Brookhaven Lab scientists, engineers, and support staff who run the Solenoidal Tracker (STAR) experiment at the Lab's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) received recognition from the Secretary of Energy for their role in enabling the discovery that the nearly perfect fluid created in particle collisions at RHIC is "by far the fastest spinning fluid ever observed."

Meet David Livoti: Radiofrequency technician in collider-accelerator department

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Growing up, David Livoti spent his summers working at libraries and garden centers near his home in Center Moriches. Then, in 2017, he landed his first internship just a few minutes down the road at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Brookhaven Lab pays tribute to 2018 summer interns

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

On Aug. 9, 2018, the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory bid farewell -- for now -- to approximately 250 students at the concluding ceremony to their 10 weeks of summer research.
