Tiny drops of early universe 'perfect' fluid

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider confirm that small nuclei can create tiny droplets of a perfect liquid primordial soup when they collide with larger nuclei.

Brookhaven summer intern reveals the cutting edge of NSLS-II

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

This summer, DOE's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program paired Bozeat with NSLS-II engineer Christopher Eng, who enlisted the student's help in designing the magnet assemblies that comprise NSLS-II's undulators -- devices that wiggle the electron beam to emit brighter X-rays.

New Brookhaven summer course introduces high school students to scientific computing

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

19 Long Island high school students completed a two-week workshop designed to teach them the basics of computer programming for scientific research. With this new program, the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory looks to use its resources to begin to fill a gap in public science education while also building a pipeline to help identify and train the computer-literate researchers of tomorrow.

Two spin liquids square off in an iron-based superconductor

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A study conducted by researchers at Brookhaven and Oak Ridge national laboratories describes how an iron-telluride material related to a family of high-temperature superconductors develops superconductivity with no long-range electronic or magnetic order. In fact, the material displays a liquid-like magnetic state consisting of two coexisting and competing disordered magnetic phases. The results challenge a number of widely accepted paradigms into how unconventional superconductors work.

New computer model could explain how simple molecules took first step toward life

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Sergei Maslov, a computational biologist at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and adjunct professor at Stony Brook University, and Alexei Tkachenko, a scientist at Brookhaven's Center for Functional Nanomaterials, have developed a model that explains how simple monomers could rapidly make the jump to more complex self-replicating polymers. What their model points to could have intriguing implications for the origins of life on Earth and CFN's work in engineering artificial self-assembly at the nanoscale.

Robert Harrison leads new center to consolidate and showcase Brookhaven Lab's computing capabilities

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

As leader of the new Center for Data-Driven Discovery (C3D) at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, Robert Harrison aims to consolidate and capitalize on the Lab's existing world-leading capabilities in big data to advance science initiatives across the Lab and to foster increased collaboration with academia and industry.

Brookhaven Lab summer school helps develop tomorrow's nuclear chemistry experts

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

For the past six weeks, 12 college students have had the opportunity to learn all that the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has to teach about a vital but often overlooked area of chemistry -- one that spans everything from nuclear reactors and the safe handling of nuclear material to hospital diagnostic tools and cutting-edge medical research.

Big PanDA and Titan merge to tackle torrent of LHC's full-energy collision data

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

With the successful restart of the Large Hadron Collider, now operating at nearly twice its former collision energy, comes an enormous increase in the volume of data physicists must sift through to search for new discoveries. Fortunately, a remarkable data-management tool developed by physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Texas at Arlington is evolving to meet the big-data challenge.

Upgrades to ATLAS and LHC magnets for Run 2 and beyond

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

At the beginning of June, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European research facility, began smashing together protons once again. Physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory were busy throughout Long Shutdown 1, undertaking projects designed to maximize the LHC's chances of detecting rare new physics as the collider reaches into a previous unexplored subatomic frontier.
