A Note from Steve Dierker
The website lightsources.org lists about 70 light source facilities worldwide – in America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Oceania. As we all know, light sources have become essential tools in many disciplines of science, hence their rapid growth around the globe.
NSLS Enables Critical Assessment of Proposed Solar Material
In a study conducted in part at NSLS, a research group has gained valuable information about a material being investigated for use in an emerging technology for renewable energy production: using sunlight-absorbing semiconductors to split water molecules and yield hydrogen gas, which can be fed into a fuel cell to generate electricity or used as fuel itself.
BNL’s Researchers Help Connect Nuclear Science and Nanoscience for Safer Reactors
Simerjeet Gill has been using the NSLS and the CFN to study radiation damage-tolerant nanocomposites, which may hold the key to solving problems of cracking, swelling and embrittlement in nuclear materials.
Brookhaven National Lab Funded for Research to Enable Safer Nuclear Power
Nick Simos of BNL’s Nuclear Sciences Department will be the principal investigator on a research project awarded $990,000 through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies program, designed to enable cross-cutting research that will fundamentally improve the safety and performance of nuclear reactors.
Swift Progress on NSLS-II Booster
The electrons that will generate intense, focused beams of x-rays at NSLS-II are accelerated to their target energy before they enter the large main ring.
NSLS May-August Ops Cycle: Survey Responses
The Department of Energy requires NSLS and other DOE facilities to report about user satisfaction.
Photowalk 2012
NSLS, NSLS-II, the STAR and PHENIX detectors at RHIC and the RHIC tunnel will be open to amateur and professional photographers registered for Photowalk 2012 at Brookhaven Lab.
