Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies. Brookhaven also builds and operates major facilities available to university, industrial, and government scientists. http://www.bnl.gov en-us www@bnl.gov http://www.bnl.gov/world/images/BNLlogo_4web.gif http://www.bnl.gov U.S Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu has announced that more than $327 million in new funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will go toward scientific research, instrumentation, and laboratory infrastructure projects. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=995 Tue, 4 Aug 2009 15:00:00 EST Scientists at Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University have devised a way to encapsulate bacteria in a synthetic polymer hydrogel. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=993 Mon, 3 Aug 2009 17:00:00 EST 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. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=989 Sun, 2 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EST New York University will host a public workshop to provide an overview of the Large Hadron Collider, featured in this summer’s “Angels & Demons,” on Monday, August 3, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., at NYU’s Kimmel Center for University Life, Eisner and Lubin Auditorium. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=992 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:00:00 EST Brookhaven Lab and Hybridyne Imaging Technologies, Inc., of Toronto, Canada, have won a 2009 R&D 100 Award for developing a compact gamma camera for high-resolution imaging of prostate cancer. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=991 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:30:00 EST U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that up to $85 million in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be awarded in early 2010 to support at least 50 early career researchers for five years at U.S. academic institutions and DOE national laboratories. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=990 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:30:00 EST Brookhaven scientists Jason Graetz and Paul Sorensen are among 100 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on young research professionals. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=987 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:00:00 EST J.C. Seamus Davis and John Tranquada, physicists at Brookhaven Lab, along with Aharon Kapitulnik of Stanford University, have been named the recipients of the 2009 Heike Kamerlingh Onnes Prize for outstanding superconductivity experiments. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=986 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:30:00 EST Na Li, a graduate student at Huazhong Normal University who expects to receive her Ph.D. in physics in the spring of 2010, has been awarded the 2009 Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber Prize, consisting of a framed certificate and $1,000. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=985 Tue, 7 Jul 2009 08:30:00 EST A new agreement between Syracuse University and Brookhaven National Laboratory will enable Syracuse faculty and students to use Brookhaven’s state-of-the-art research facilities. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=983 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 08:30:00 EST
