Brookhaven Lab

Witness the final particle collisions at #RHIC ... LIVE! This Friday at 9 a.m. ET, beams of ions will crash into one another at nearly the speed of light for the final time, capping off 25 years of discoveries. Watch the stream and set a reminder 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=nhRbgI…

Researchers in our Environmental Science and Technologies Department will contribute high-resolution simulations to this project, helping to understand how airborne plant pathogens travel and where they may concentrate. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

Congratulations to Great Neck South Middle School and Ward Melville High School for winning our regional Science Bowl competitions! We wish our Long Island teams the best of luck at the National Science Bowl this spring. #BrookhavenSciEd bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…

We've built a successful convection cloud chamber — one of only two in the nation. Researchers can use this customizable one-cubic-meter metal box to create and study clouds under controlled conditions. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.…
