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 WebServices@bnl.gov (Web Services Group) http://www.bnl.gov/world/images/BNLlogo_4web.gif http://www.bnl.gov BNL researchers have developed record-breaking high temperature superconductor magnets that open the path to a muon collider and make possible other important applications. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23382 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23382 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 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. http://www.bnl.gov/ps/eNews/news.asp?a=3345&t=today http://www.bnl.gov/ps/eNews/news.asp?a=3345&t=today Thu, 04 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 Anže Slosar is creating the most accurate 3-D map of the cosmos, using the light from thousands of quasars at a time to illuminate the hydrogen gas clouds that make up the structure of the early universe. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23354 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23354 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 10:30:00 -0400 Yixiong Yang, a graduate student at Stony Brook University has won the eighth annual Mow Shiah Lin Scholarship. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11456 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11456 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:15:00 -0400 Climate instruments mounted aboard the Horizon Spirit container ship begin taking data. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11455 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11455 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 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. http://www.bnl.gov/ps/eNews/news.asp?a=3342&t=today http://www.bnl.gov/ps/eNews/news.asp?a=3342&t=today Mon, 01 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 Hailed for its “gripping intensity” and “suspenseful and virtuoso playing” by San Francisco Classical Voice, the Amphion String Quartet was selected as a winner of the 2011 Concert Artists Guild auditions. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11454 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11454 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:00:00 -0400 More than 5,400 visitors enjoyed learning about the Lab during the Summer Sunday program this year. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23326 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23326 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:30:00 -0400 Physicists working on experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland—including many from Brookhaven Lab—announced in July that they have observed a new particle. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23371 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23371 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:30:00 -0400 Scientists at Brookhaven have created a new enzyme that effectively “masks” the synthetic precursors of lignin, a plant cell wall component that makes plant biomass particularly difficult to break down. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23372 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23372 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 07:30:00 -0400
