Two Brookhaven Lab Buildings Achieve LEED Green Building Certification
Two buildings on the 5,300-acre site of Brookhaven National Laboratory have each been awarded a LEED silver rating by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The two buildings — the 94,500 square-foot Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and the 65,000 square-foot Research Support Building (RSB) — are the newest on the Brookhaven Lab site.

Battelle Honors Weiqiang Han as Brookhaven Lab's 'Inventor of the Year'
Brookhaven scientist Weiqiang Han will be honored as the Laboratory's "Inventor of the Year" on April 25, in Columbus, Ohio, by Battelle, a global science and technology company that develops and commercializes technology. Battelle and Stony Brook University comprise Brookhaven Science Associates, the company that manages Brookhaven Lab.

Brookhaven Lab's Nanoscience Staff Inspires Islip Students' Winning 'Future City' Entries
If you live on Long Island and are in competition to build the best city of the future incorporating nanotechnology, where do you go to find out what, exactly, is technology at the nanoscale? Teacher Julia Johnson, whose 7th and 8th grade students are members of one of the two Islip Middle School teams which entered the 2007-08 Future Cityâ„¢ competition, turned to Brookhaven Lab.

Nanotechnology Research Roundtable in Boston Friday, Feb. 15
Reporters will meet with four of America's foremost nanotechnology experts for a wide-ranging discussion about using the technology to more effectively treat patients and to better produce and secure energy.

DNA Technique Yields 3-D Crystalline Organization of Nanoparticles
In an achievement some see as the "holy grail" of nanoscience, researchers at Brookhaven have used DNA to guide the creation of three-dimensional, ordered, crystalline structures of nanoparticles. The ability to engineer such 3-D structures is essential to producing functional materials that take advantage of the unique properties that may exist at the nanoscale.
