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 (BNL Web Services) http://www.bnl.gov/world/images/BNLlogo_4web.gif http://www.bnl.gov Psychology Professor Marci Lobel will give a talk, titled "Stress During Pregnancy and its Effects on Women and Infants," at BNL on Thursday, May 30, at 5 p.m. in Berkner Hall. Prior to the talk, at 4 p.m., Lobel will be available for an informal chat with attendees. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11542 Thu, 16 May 2013 11:00:00 EST DNA "linker" strands coax nano-sized rods to line up in way unlike any other spontaneous arrangement of rod-shaped objects. The arrangement—with the rods forming "rungs" on ladder-like ribbons could result in the fabrication of new nanostructured materials with desired properties. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11540 Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:00 EST Elevated dopamine transporter density may be a consequence of chronic treatment rather than a marker for the disorder and may have implications for the effectiveness of long-term treatment. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11541 Wed, 15 May 2013 17:00:00 EST Over 250 local and regional leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics gathered to hear about the STEM Hub's new initiatives and meet with students showcasing their research. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11539 Tue, 14 May 2013 10:45:00 EST The results of a clinical trial in Europe of an investigational Lyme disease vaccine co-developed by researchers at Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and at Baxter International Inc. revealed promising results. The vaccine produced substantial antibodies against all targeted species of Borrelia, the causative agent of Lyme disease in Europe and the United States.  http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11537 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:00:00 EST Lijuan Ruan, a physicist at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory, is one of 61 scientists to receive Early Career Research Program funding from DOE.    http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11538 Thu, 9 May 2013 07:30:00 EST More than 500 science projects from 114 Suffolk County schools were entered into the 2013 Elementary School Science Fair. The Fair, sponsored by BNL and coordinated by the Lab's Office of Educational Programs, was held at the Laboratory on May 4.  http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11536 Wed, 8 May 2013 14:00:00 EST Scientists from 26 institutions around the world are planning a new experiment that could open the doors to new realms of particle physics. But first, they have to bring the core of this experiment, a complex electromagnet that spans 50 feet in diameter, from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York to Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11535 Wed, 8 May 2013 10:30:00 EST Laurence Littenberg has been named chair of the Physics Department at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, effective July 1, 2013. He will be succeeding Thomas Ludlam, who is stepping down after having served as chair since September 2007.  http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11534 Mon, 6 May 2013 10:45:00 EST Gianluigi De Geronimo, a leading electrical engineer who designs unique, state-of-the-art microelectronics at Brookhaven Lab's Instrumentation Division, was honored by Battelle as an "Inventor of the Year."  http://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11533 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 07:30:00 EST
