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 Plant biologist Ben Babst has seen things that no one else has ever seen before. Working with an imaging technique more commonly used to diagnose cancer and study brain activity, Babst’s investigations show much promise toward enhancing plants’ abilities to make substances for biofuels that could someday power vehicles, homes and industry. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23379 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23379 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 Steven Koonin, director, Center for Urban Science and Progress, and former DOE Undersecretary of the Office of Science, will speak today at 4 p.m. in the Hamilton Seminar Room, Bldg. 555. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23401 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=23401 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 11:45:00 -0400 The National Science Foundation has awarded a $2.7 million grant to Mark Chance, director of the Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, for work with the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11459 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11459 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 10:45:00 -0400 “Molecular sled” carries viral enzyme along DNA to find and interact with target proteins. The findings suggest this new mechanism of enzyme-protein interaction may be universal. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11458 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11458 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 Simulated seeds help scientists explore how plants “balance the books” between oil and protein production. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11457 http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11457 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 07:30:00 -0400 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
