Syracuse University announces new agreement with Brookhaven National Laboratory
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.

Talk at Brookhaven Lab on ‘Nanotechnology: Its Promise and Challenges,’ May 14
Vicki Colvin of Rice University will give a talk titled “Nanotechnology: Its Promise and Challenges” at Brookhaven Lab on Thursday, May 14, at 4 p.m. in Berkner Hall. The talk is free and open to the public.

DNA-Based Assembly Line for Precision Nano-Cluster Construction
Building on the idea of using DNA to link up nanoparticles -- particles measuring mere billionths of a meter -- scientists at Brookhaven Lab have designed a molecular assembly line for predictable, high-precision nano-construction.

Researchers Discover a Potential On-Off Switch for Nanoelectronics
As electronic circuits shrink from finely etched lines in silicon wafers to nearly elusive proportions, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Columbia University are studying how electrons flow through a molecular junction-a nanometer scale circuit element that contacts gold atoms with a single molecule.

Two Brookhaven Lab Buildings Achieve LEED Green Building Certification
Two buildings on the 5,300-acre site of Brookhaven National Laboratory have each been awarded a LEED silver rating by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The two buildings — the 94,500 square-foot Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and the 65,000 square-foot Research Support Building (RSB) — are the newest on the Brookhaven Lab site.
