Engineered Plants Make Potential Precursor to Raw Material for Plastics.
In a first step toward achieving industrial-scale green production, scientists from BNL and
collaborators at Dow AgroSciences report engineering a plant that produces industrially relevant
levels of chemicals that could potentially be used to make plastics.
RapiData Program Overview
The weeklong crash course is designed to introduce participants to the best and latest equipment
and techniques for macromolecular x-ray crystallography. The students also get to meet and learn
from the leading developers of software in the field, and then actually use the NSLS beamlines
to collect data.
Enzyme Detectives Uncover New Reactions
Brookhaven biochemist John Shanklin discusses the engineering of biofuels and plant-derived replacements for petro-chemicals.
Electron Microscope Facility
Brookhaven Lab is home to one of only a few Scanning Transmision Electron Microscope (STEM)
machines in the world and one of the few that can image single heavy atoms.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical,
biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security.
Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry
and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven
Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State
University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory
facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
