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 www@bnl.gov http://www.bnl.gov/world/images/BNLlogo_4web.gif http://www.bnl.gov A new agreement between Syracuse University and Brookhaven National Laboratory will enable Syracuse faculty and students to use Brookhaven’s state-of-the-art research facilities. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=983 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 08:30:00 EST The world’s largest computing grid has passed its most comprehensive tests to date in anticipation of the restart of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=982 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 08:00:00 EST Research reveales surprising information about how electron behavior influences the conduction of electricity in a class of high-temperature superconductors. An increased understanding of this mechanism could one day transform a number of technologies, including the transmission of electrical power. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=984 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:00:00 EST Yimei Zhu, a scientist at the Brookhaven Lab, has been elected the inaugural Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America, an affiliate of the American Institute of Physics and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=981 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:30:00 EST Edward Nowak, former director of Johnson & Johnson’s Global Pharma R&D Environmental Health and Safety, has been named manager of the Safety & Health Services Division at Brookhaven Lab, effective June 8. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=980 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:00:00 EST New structures of a botulism toxin interacting with a mimic of the nerve-cell protein it destroys suggest new ways to block this often-fatal interaction. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=958 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:00:00 EST An international team of scientists has discovered extensive similarities between a strain of bacteria commonly associated with plants and one increasingly linked to opportunistic infections in hospital patients. The findings suggest caution in the use of the plant-associated strain for a range of biotech applications. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=946 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:00:00 EST A prototype breast imaging system combining positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies could greatly improve breast cancer imaging capabilities, according to researchers at SNM’s 56th Annual Meeting. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=975 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 11:30:00 EST Brookhaven National Laboratory announced that it is beginning construction of the conventional facilities at the National Synchrotron Light Source II, a project that will advance energy research for the nation and create hundreds of jobs for Long Island over the next several years. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=979 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 09:30:00 EST Brookhaven researchers have demonstrated a new, highly detailed x-ray imaging technique that could be developed into a method for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=978 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:00:00 EST What can you do that’s free, fun and educational on a lazy summer Sunday?
