Congratulations to the Muon g-2 Collaborations at @CERN, @Fermilab, and Brookhaven Lab on receiving the @brkthroughprize in Fundamental Physics. 👏 The award recognizes their multi-decade, groundbreaking contributions to physics. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

Our Bridge Building Competition challenges high schoolers to step into the shoes of engineers. Students design and build bridges out of lightweight basswood, and they watch as their creation either holds up under pressure or snaps. #BrookhavenSciEd #STEM bit.ly/4mHyiqC

In the @particlenews Photowalk, "dozens of amateur and professional photographers were invited to find beauty in the invisible world of force fields and subatomic particles." quantamagazine.org/global-physics…

From the #RHIC archives: Nov. 6, 1997 A six-ton, $10-million piece of scientific equipment arrived at Brookhaven today, ready to take its place in the atom smasher now under construction. Called a time projection chamber, the device will be installed at the STAR experiment.

Our researchers have developed #quantum devices with a silicon-compatible class of materials, an approach that’s designed to feed right into the engine that’s used for today's semiconductor technology. @C2QAdvantage #C2QA #CFNatBrookhaven @NanoLetters bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

From launching weather balloons to analyzing cloud data, students mentored by Brookhaven Lab’s Mike Jensen gain real-world research experience — and confidence to pursue #STEM careers. #BrookhavenSciEd bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

The perspectives, passion, and expertise of the #ElectronIonCollider's collaborators are critical for the future of this one-of-a-kind discovery machine.

#NSLSII scientists are using an innovative approach to identify promising drug candidates faster, more efficiently, and at lower cost. By combining crystallography, automation, and #AI, this technique is transforming pharmaceutical research. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

The removal process is expected to take place over six years, with a work plan designed to enable simultaneous progress on #ElectronIonCollider construction. It will encompass the removal and/or repurposing of approximately 6,500 major #RHIC components. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

Registration is open for our Summer Science Explorations! ☀️🚀 bnl.gov/sse/ These weeklong workshop are available to students entering grades 7-12. From biotechnology to quantum physics, they engage students in real-life research. #BrookhavenSciEd

These clouds aren't for gazing. ☁️ Brookhaven researchers built a convection cloud chamber that can produce clouds in a controlled environment, enabling repeatable experiments to probe the physics underlying cloud processes.

In support of the #GenesisMission, we're using #AI to accelerate power flow calculations by a factor of 100. powermag.com/the-genesis-mi…

Physicist Stefania Stucci is one of six Brookhaven Lab scientists to receive a @doescience Early Career Research Award. 👏 The award will support Aryal's work to develop high-performance sensors for particle detectors. bit.ly/4cc1cua

We've developed a new machine learning framework that can accelerate the search for better catalysts. The method outperforms conventional models, which struggle to find rare, high-performing catalysts. #Chemistry #MachineLearning @ChemCatalysis bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

Seth Nemesure manages the #ElectronIonCollider's controls software, which will support upwards of 10 million signals. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…
