Christine Nattrass, a physics professor at the University of Tennessee (UT), Knoxville, has recruited a crew of mostly undergraduate students to dig deep into data from billions of particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to help unlock the secrets of matter.
Eight teachers from Long Island school districts became science researchers this summer in a new training program designed to build awareness of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science mission areas and transfer real-world technology and coding-based skills to the classroom.
On the heels of a storm-saturated spring and summer of record-breaking heat in the Southeastern U.S., a team of environmental scientists from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories will soon set up a suite of sophisticated scientific instruments in Alabama's William Bankhead National Forest.
Representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) have signed a "Statement of Interest" to launch what both agencies hope will be a significant collaboration on the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
As EUV lithography begins paving the way for the future, scientists are faced with the hurdle of identifying the most effective resist materials for this new era of nanofabrication. In an effort to address this need, a team of scientists at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—has designed a new light-sensitive, organic-inorganic hybrid material that enables high-performance patternability by EUV lithography.
Cathy Sue Cutler, who has served as director of the Medical Isotope Research and Production (MIRP) program at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory since 2015, has been tapped to lead a newly created Isotope Research and Production (IP) Department at the Laboratory.
Plant biologists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have engineered enzymes to modify grass plants so their biomass can be more efficiently converted into biofuels and other bioproducts.
On Friday, Oct. 6, 2023, a crowd packed into the Large Seminar Room in the Physics Department at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory to hear from Lab management and members of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) about the field's vision for the future.
Robert Tribble, an experimental physicist who previously served as deputy director for science and technology at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, is the new director of the RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) for a five-year term, effective April 1, 2023.
Twenty years ago, on Oct. 14, 2003, dignitaries gathered to declare the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL) open for experiments.
On Oct. 4, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and National Science Foundation's (NSF) Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) presented its “Long Range Plan” of recommendations to advance U.S. nuclear physics research over the next decade.
Toshifumi Sugama--a chemist in the Interdisciplinary Science Department at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory who designs, develops, and evaluates materials for geothermal wells--received the Outstanding Research Award from Geothermal Rising, a non-profit organization advocating for the advancement of geothermal energy around the world.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced funding for a new research center at Brookhaven National Laboratory focused on exploring the chemical and mechanical properties of cement composites and other materials used in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS).
Brookhaven National Laboratory and Queensborough Community College (QCC) have proposed a unique, hands-on certificate program to train future radiation protection professionals. This project is now being funded through the Developing Next Generation Radiation Safety Professionals (DNGRSP) grant awarded by the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP).
Scientists at the Columbia University, University of Connecticut, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory were able to fabricate a pure form of glass and coat specialized pieces of DNA with it to create a material that was not only stronger than steel, but incredibly lightweight.
Ambar Rodriguez-Alicea wants to explore the very basics of matter and the universe as we know it. As the aspiring physicist from Puerto Rico puts it, “I want a job that forces me to keep learning until the end.”
Researchers at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Northrop Grumman, a multinational aerospace and defense technology company, have found a way to maintain valley polarization at room temperature using novel materials and techniques.
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment collaboration, an international team of researchers measuring key properties of ghostlike particles called neutrinos, is a co-recipient of the European Physical Society's (EPS) 2023 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize.
Armando Rúa, a collaborator with the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, was awarded a prestigious grant as part of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s Experimental Investigators Initiative for his innovative materials science proposal.
Creating novel materials by combining layers with unique, beneficial properties seems like a fairly intuitive process—stack up the materials and stack up the benefits.
