Researchers engineer new pathways for self-assembled nanostructures

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A collaboration of researchers from the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Yale University, and the University of Warsaw (Poland) has recently shown that kinetic effects can be exploited to engineer a nanostructure in a polymer thin film.

Removing the brakes on plant oil production

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Scientists studying plant biochemistry at Brookhaven Lab have discovered new details about biomolecules that put the brakes on oil production. The findings suggest that disabling these biomolecular brakes could push oil production into high gear -- a possible pathway toward generating abundant biofuels and plant-derived bioproducts.

Relativistic heavy ion collider Begins 18th year of experiments

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The first smashups of two new types of particles at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider will offer fresh insight into the effects of magnetism on the fireball of matter created in these collisions. Accomplishing this main goal of the 15-week run of RHIC's 18th year will draw on more than a decade of accumulated expertise, enhancements to collider and detector components, and a collaborative effort with partners across the DOE complex and around the world.
