Plant roots police toxic pollutants

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Working in collaboration with scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, researchers at the University of Arizona have identified details of how certain plants scavenge and accumulate pollutants in contaminated soil.

Novel X-Ray Optics Boost Imaging Capabilities at NSLS-II

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new approach to 3-D x-ray imaging that can visualize bulky materials in great detail--an impossible task with conventional imaging methods. The novel technique could help scientists unlock clues about the structural information of countless materials, from batteries to biological systems.

Meet Jasmine Hatcher and Trishelle Copeland-Johnson

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Graduate students Jasmine Hatcher and Trishelle Copeland-Johnson both launched their research careers at national laboratories through DOE's Community College Internships (CCI) Program.

Brookhaven Lab Physicists Deliver Key Components for ProtoDUNE Detector

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The ProtoDUNE experiment will test and validate detector technologies and design components that will be applied to construction of the far detector for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE).

LHC Scientists Detect Most Favored Higgs Decay

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Today at CERN, the Large Hadron Collider collaborations ATLAS and CMS jointly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson transforming into bottom quarks as it decays.

Lining up surprising behaviors of superconductor with one of the world's strongest magnets

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists have discovered that the electrical resistance of this material changes in an unusual way under very high magnetic fields -- a finding that could help direct the search for materials that can perfectly conduct electricity at room temperature.

High-caliber research launches NSLS-II beamline into operations

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A new experimental station (beamline) has begun operations at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. Called the Beamline for Materials Measurement, it offers scientists state-of-the-art technology for using a classic synchrotron technique: x-ray absorption spectroscopy.

Statement on National Academy of Sciences electron-ion collider report

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The following statement is being issued by the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility--along with the Electron-Ion Collider User Group--in response to a report issued today by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on the scientific case for a US-based Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).

Funding for new DOE Energy Frontier Research Center at Brookhaven Lab

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced funding for a new Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) to be led by DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory that will focus on understanding the properties of "Molten Salts in Extreme Environments," a class of materials with potential applications in energy technologies--particularly in nuclear power.

Theorists publish highest-precision prediction of muon magnetic anomaly

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Latest calculation based on how subatomic muons interact with all known particles comes out just in time for comparison with precision measurements at new 'Muon g-2' experiment.
