High school seniors: There's still time to apply for our High School Research Program! Don't miss the chance to spend your summer conducting research alongside top scientists.
Applications are due in one week: https://bit.ly/3pA8Wg0
#BrookhavenSciEd
We used ultrabright X-rays at #NSLSII to reveal the microscale chemistry of #Ryugu, a near-Earth asteroid.
Congratulations to the winners of the Global Physics Photowalk!

Brookhaven physicist Gene Van Buren joins @scifri.bsky.social to discuss the end of #RHIC operations, what we've learned from the collider, and what the future holds. 🎧
"The final run of RHIC was less of a memorial and more of a celebration of a new beginning. RHIC will be revamped to turn into an electron-ion collider," @wshu.org reports. #RHIC #ElectronIonCollider
Although MicrobooNE has ruled out one explanation for the anomalies seen by previous experiments, a physics mystery still remains.
#RHIC operations have come to an end, and #ElectronIonCollider preparations are ramping up.
The U.S. Department of Energy approved Critical Decision 3B for the EIC, authorizing the second phase of long-lead procurements.
This decision enables us to prepare for the construction phase.
Our new cloud chamber was recently featured by the Weather Channel👇
Researchers have developed an #AI workflow that can help them grow #biofuel crops on infertile soil and protect the plants from infectious diseases.
Introducing X-ray ghost imaging 👻🔦
This technique uses pairs of quantum-entangled photons for low-dose X-ray imaging. One photon travels through the sample, while its partner never interacts — but both still carry information about the sample. https://bit.ly/4aVq61I
"A window into how visible matter emerges from the 'nothing' of vacuum has been opened by physicists" at #RHIC.
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
Our researchers had a VISION for an #AI lab partner — and they've brought it to life.
This voice-controlled assistant helps scientists interact with complex scientific instruments, streamlining experiments and accelerating discovery. #CFNatBrookhaven #NSLSII
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.
Read their personal accounts: https://bit.ly/4rTUWNT
#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." 🎧
