Hands-on Science Draws Record Crowd

Marshmallow Peeps, water rockets, liquid nitrogen, and a firsthand look at what will be one of the world’s most advanced light sources attract a record-breaking number of visitors to NSLS and the NSLS-II construction site for a one-day open house. Nearly 1,190 people attended the event as part of Brookhaven Lab's Summer Sundays program.

Joint InSynC-INCREASE Meeting Brings Teachers, Professors to NSLS

More than 30 educators from two unique groups come to Brookhaven Lab to gain synchrotron skills for themselves and their students. Participants in the two groups — the Interdisciplinary Consortium for Research and Educational Access in Science and Engineering (INCREASE) and Introducing Synchrotrons into the Classroom (InSynC) — spent three days at NSLS to understand the basics of synchrotron mechanics, participate in hands-on demonstrations, and learn how to write a proposal for beam time.
