Research Center Established to Explore the Least Understood and Strongest Force Behind Visible Matter
Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory have established the Center for Frontiers of Nuclear Science to help scientists better understand the building blocks of visible matter. The new Center will push the frontiers of knowledge about quarks, gluons and their interactions that form protons, neutrons, and ultimately 99.9 percent of the mass of atoms—the bulk of the visible universe.

From NSLS to NSLS-II and Beyond: Accelerator Physics Challenges
Nearly a half-century ago, scientists considered the synchrotron light appearing in their electron accelerators a severe hindrance to producing the high energy particles they needed to study the fundamental forces in nature. This "nuisance" light, however, had extremely useful characteristics.
