		BNL Overview Length: 00:08:19 Established in 1947 on Long Island, Upton, New York, Brookhaven is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Six Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at the Lab. Brookhaven has a staff of approximately 3,000 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff and over 4,000 guest researchers annually.
		RHIC 'Perfect' Liquid Length: 00:01:21 Evidence to date suggests that RHIC's gold-gold collisions are indeed creating a new state of hot, dense matter, but one quite different and even more remarkable than had been predicted. Instead of behaving like a gas of free quarks and gluons, as was expected, the matter created in RHIC's heavy ion collisions appears to be more like a "perfect" liquid.
		National Synchrotron Light Source Presented by Stephen Dierker  |  Length: 00:05:24 A tour of Brookhaven's National Synchrotron Light Source, hosted by BNL Associate Laboratory Director for Light Sources, Stephen Dierker.
		RHIC - Exploring the Universe Within Presented by John Marburger  |  Length: 00:06:29 A guided tour of Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider conducted by past Laboratory Director John Marburger. This tour explains RHIC's purpose and the physics behind its operation.
		Center for Functional Nanomaterials Overview Length: 00:06:05 Staff from Brookhaven's new Center for Functional Nanomaterials describe how this advanced facility will focus on the development and understanding of nanoscale materials, with an eye to solving the nation's energy challenges.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
