Brookhaven Lab scientists have grown large enough crystals of one well-studied high-temperature (high-Tc) superconductor to directly measure its magnetic properties. These measurements cast considerable doubt on assumptions commonly made in trying to understand the role magnetism plays in these materials’ ability to carry current with no resistance.

On Wednesday, April 15, join James Muckerman for the 448th Brookhaven Lecture, "New Chemistry for Artificial Photosynthesis: A Theoretical Perspective." Muckerman will explain photosynthesis and illustrate how electrochemical systems driven by sunlight could carry out artificial photosynthesis to create usable fuels without creating pollutants and undesirable byproducts. 4 p.m., Berkner Hall.

Through work originally designed to remove contaminants from soil, scientists at Brookhaven Lab and their Belgium colleagues at Hasselt University have identified plant-associated microbes that can improve plant growth on marginal land.

January 25, 2009

A team of scientists at Brookhaven Lab, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Delaware and Yeshiva University, has developed a new catalyst that could make ethanol-powered fuel cells feasible.

August 20, 2007

In an effort to develop alternative energy sources such as fuel cells and solar fuel from "artificial" photosynthesis, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory are taking a detailed look at electrons - the particles that set almost all chemical processes in motion.
