In this 480th Brookhaven Lecture, Goldhaber Fellow Ben Babst talks about how innovating scientists in the Lab's Medical Department are using a technique called positron emission tomography, or PET imaging — commonly used to diagnose cancer and study brain activity — to investigate plants' abilities to make substances for biofuels that could one day power our vehicles, homes, and industry.
In the 479th Brookhaven Lecture Jörg Schwender describes some of the modeling efforts that he and his collaborators use to explore the biochemical reactions of plant metabolism and predict the characteristics of high-oil plant varieties.
Construction is under way for the Interdisciplinary Science Building (ISB), a future world-class facility for energy research at Brookhaven Lab. Meet two scientists who will develop solutions at the ISB to tackle some of the nation’s energy challenges, and tour the construction site.
It’s official: All systems are go at the Long Island Solar Farm located on site at Brookhaven Lab — the largest solar power plant in the eastern United States. More than 100 people came to celebrate on November 18.
The Long Island Solar Farm located at Brookhaven National Lab is the largest photovoltaic array in the eastern U.S., and among the largest in the nation constructed on federal property. Generating a maximum of 32-megawatts, it can produce enough energy to power up to 4,500 Long Island homes without the use of fossil fuels. (Video courtesy of BP Solar.)
Daniel Nocera, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor whose recent research focuses on solar-powered fuels, gave a BSA Distinguished Lecture, titled “Harnessing Energy from the Sun for Six Billion People — One at a Time.”
Many chemists want to speed things up — faster reactions can produce higher yields. But BNL chemist James Wishart would rather slow some reactions down. He studies syrupy materials known as ionic liquids, liquids composed entirely of positive and negative ions.
Brookhaven biochemist John Shanklin discusses the engineering of biofuels and plant-derived replacements for petro-chemicals.
