"Don't worry, it's all good."
Watch as our scientists, engineers, and technicians work together to assemble the nation's second convection cloud chamber.
Researchers will use this programmable atmosphere to create and study clouds in a controlled environment. https://bit.ly/4kLLUjY
New results from #RHIC suggest how "virtual" particles become real. @nature.com
Thank you to our employees who collectively donated 280 coats to the Town of Brookhaven's Winter Coat Drive and supported our local community! https://bit.ly/3OHvlth
"Frustrated magnets" have unique and fascinating properties that could translate to novel applications in energy and information technology.
Brookhaven is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 37 R&D 100 Awards, and 75 years of pioneering research.
Can you lead our team through our next era of discovery science and transformative technology?

New measurements from @atlasexperiment.bsky.social reveal how the extreme conditions in particle collisions generate pressure gradients that drive the distribution of particles.
This state of matter mimics what the universe was like just after the Big Bang.
Researchers used #quantum chemistry to uncover design principles for generating sustainable alternatives to chlorine. #CFNatBrookhaven
The sounds of science 🎶
#CFNatBrookhaven's Kevin Yager uses sonic representations of his data to detect misalignment errors.
At the center of Li’s work is AutoLab, a laboratory automation platform that uses machine vision, motion control, and precision robotics to handle delicate experimental tasks.
An "imaging by smashing" technique at #RHIC's STAR experiment reveals uranium-238 may be shaped like a pear.
This new and powerful 3D imaging technique has the potential to accelerate discoveries across many fields, from developing faster, more efficient microchips to synthesizing new materials. #NSLSII
Compared to a regular cloud chamber, our convection cloud chamber can maintain a turbulent cloud for hours.
Its unique design also enables researchers to control and measure a variety of atmospheric conditions for creating and studying complex clouds.
Our scientists have developed a custom #AI algorithm to streamline massive datasets from particle detectors.
The algorithm uses a neural network to compress "sparse” data, so detectors can record more collisions. #RHIC #ElectronIonCollider
We asked people involved in research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider to reflect on the end of #RHIC's operations.

#RHIC made surprising discoveries about the plasma that filled the early universe, "from which the particles that make up stars, galaxies, planets — and, eventually, us — descended."
Dive into Brookhaven's #AI capabilities, our role in the #GenesisMission, and more of our scientific initiatives with Interim Director John Hill on this episode of "Micro Journeys." 🎧
The #GenesisMission will tackle 26 major science and technology challenges, leveraging #AI to power the economy, secure our energy future, and keep America at the forefront of global innovation.
Our scientists are tapping into the quantum properties of light to reduce the X-ray dose needed for imaging. #NSLSII
The regional Science Bowl at Brookhaven Lab gives talented #STEM students across Long Island and NYC the opportunity to showcase their knowledge, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. #BrookhavenSciEd
Dirul Nassar leads the infrastructure team that oversees civil construction for the future #ElectronIonCollider.
We were delighted to host representatives from Empire State Development and across New York's innovation ecosystem.
We discussed how the Lab's quantum research can help drive economic growth, build a more secure energy future, and position New York as a global leader in quantum information science.
This study exemplifies #AI's power to help researchers solve highly complex scientific problems.
Over 25 years, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider generated roughly 300 trillion particle collisions, collected about 450 petabytes of data, involved more than 3,500 scientists, and so much more. #RHIC
When Mary Bishai came to Brookhaven Lab in 2004 to study neutrinos, she joined a history of "ghostbuster physicists."
“Flow” helped physicists discover the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at #RHIC.
Now, a different type of flow seen in data from @atlasexperiment.bsky.social provides fresh insight into another aspect of the QGP’s viscosity.
This is some of the first experimental data showing of how cloud droplet properties near the tops of clouds differ from those in the cloud interior.
These differences are crucial to understanding how clouds evolve and form precipitation.
The quantum vacuum — once thought of as empty space — provides important ingredients to transform virtual “nothingness” into the matter that makes up our world. #RHIC @nature.com
Just after 9 a.m. on Feb 6, the last particle beams circulated through the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and crashed together at nearly the speed of light. #RHIC
The final collisions cap a quarter century of experiments that produced groundbreaking discoveries about the building blocks of matter.
We were pleased to host @microsoft.com for a full-day workshop that explored strategic areas for collaboration across #AI, #quantum, and #energy.
The robust discussion featured remarks from both of our organizations' leaders, and we identified several opportunities to support the #GenesisMission.
