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 Stanislaus S. Wong, a scientist with a joint appointment at Brookhaven Lab and Stony Brook University, has won the Buck-Whitney Award from the American Chemical Society (ACS) Eastern New York Section. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1033 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST A team of scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) reports their success in solving the molecular structure of a key portion of a cellular receptor implicated in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other serious illnesses. Assistant Professor Hiro Furukawa, Ph.D., and colleagues at CSHL, in cooperation with the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory, obtained crystal structures for one of several "subunits" of the NMDA receptor. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1032 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:00:00 EST Trombonist Ray Anderson will perform at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on Saturday, December 5, 2009, at 8 p.m. in the Berkner auditorium. Opening the performance will be the Michael Jazz Trio. Sponsored by the BNL Music Club, the event is open to the public. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1031 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:00:00 EST The internationally acclaimed Attacca Quartet will perform at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on Wednesday, December 9, at noon in Berkner Hall. Sponsored by Brookhaven Science Associates, the company that manages the Lab, the concert is free and open to the public. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1030 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 15:15:00 EST All seven contracts for the production of the NSLS-II storage ring magnets have now been awarded – a significant milestone for the project. The magnets – 750 in total – will be made by vendors in the United States, Russia, China, Europe, and New Zealand. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1028 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 12:00:00 EST The NSLS-II Experimental Facilities Division achieved an important milestone in September when the conceptual design reports for the initial six project beamlines were completed and submitted to NSLS-II management. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1029 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 12:00:00 EST Thanks to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, the design and construction of the lab-office buildings for NSLS-II has been accelerated so that the buildings will be available for occupancy in FY12 – at least a year earlier than originally planned. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1027 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST Brookhaven Lab has been selected as a winner of the 2009 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility on Long Island. The award recognizes employers on Long Island who successfully use workplace flexibility to meet both organizational and employee goals. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1024 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:30:00 EST Using precision techniques for making superconducting thin films layer-by-layer, BNL physicists have identified a single layer responsible for one such material’s superconductivity, opening a path for the design of tunable superconducting electronic devices. http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID=1020 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:00:00 EST http://www.bnl.gov/bnlweb/pubaf/pr/PR_display.asp?prID= Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:30:00 EST
