Trusted by the world’s leading institutions
A two-hour media briefing on leading edge research in brain chemistry and neuroimaging, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, exclusively for working journalists. Hear directly from researchers who are advancing our understanding of the neurological manifestations of addiction, AIDS, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
A study in rats at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory shows that topiramate, currently used for the treatment of epilepsy, can block nicotine-triggered changes in brain chemistry, and may have potential for treating nicotine addiction.
Scientists have found that the mere display of food causes a significant elevation in brain dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This activation is distinct from the role the brain chemical plays when people eat, and may be similar to what addicts experience when craving drugs.

A two-hour media briefing on leading edge nanoscience research, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, exclusively for working journalists. Hear directly from nanoscientists about research with minuscule structures - about one-ten-thousandth the diameter of human hair - that have the potential to make a huge impact and represent the next "big" thing in science.
A two-hour Webcast on leading edge disease research, exclusively for working journalists. Hear directly from scientists at Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS), who are using advanced imaging technologies in order to identify and understand a range of diseases.
A new research initiative is designed to lead to unprecedented 36-hour forecasts of incoming energy from the Sun, thereby helping utilities obtain energy more efficiently from solar energy power plants.
MIT and Brookhaven Lab physicists measured fleeting electron waves to uncover the elusive mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity.
A new x-ray imaging technique yields unprecedented measurements of nanoscale structures ranging from superconductors to solar cells.
Tackling the most challenging problems in accelerator science attracts the world's best and brightest to Brookhaven Lab. It's only natural that ideas and techniques born here take root in new research facilities around the world — and spark a host of spin-off applications for industry, medicine, national security, and more.
