The National Inventors Hall of Fame has released a new video profile of Esther Takeuchi, chair of our Interdisciplinary Science Department, and her groundbreaking research on energy storage.

Her story is an inspiring reminder of the difference science makes in people’s lives.

This #AI model will help scientists understand how plants absorb essential metals from soil.

As researchers await the return of minerals from Mars, they study an analog much closer to home.

Today's #RHIC run report:

🦃 Event display features multiple well-resolved turkey tracks
🦃 Trajectory reconstruction shows a clean, right-to-left crossing with minimal angular dispersion
🦃 Energy: low

Happy Thanksgiving from Brookhaven Lab and our wild turkeys!

Lipid nanoparticles are the delivery vehicles of modern medicine.

Now, scientists have discovered that the particles come in a surprising variety of configurations. #NSLSII

Alex Eslinger, a mechanical engineer at Jefferson Lab, helps design subdetectors for the #ElectronIonCollider that will image particles of light emerging from collisions.

Unique particle pairs tracked by the STAR detector at #RHIC offer an ideal “thermometer” to nail down the temperature of the quark-gluon plasma, a primordial soup that filled the early universe. ⚛️

This new recipe for catalysts could dramatically improve performance and durability of fuel cells for powering trucks. #NSLSII #CFNatBrookhaven

Like centuries-old efforts to map out the solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of substances like water, scientists at #RHIC are searching for the "critical point" that marks phase changes in nuclear matter.

Samples of #Ryugu contain signatures of chemical processes that occurred in the early days of the solar system.

Now, we're uncovering the details of this asteroid's chemistry to better understand Earth's history. #NSLSII

This summer, college and high school students had an immersive, four-week experience at our user facilities through the Brookhaven User Facility Summer School.

They conducted hands-on research at the Tandem Van de Graaf, #NSLSII, and #CFNatBrookhaven.

This newly identified protein isn't found in animals or fungi, but plants can't survive without it. 🌱 #bioenergy

TIME named the Rubin Observatory one of the best inventions of 2025!

"With giant mirrors concentrating starlight into a 3,200-megapixel camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to reveal billions of cosmic objects in the next decade."

Engineers have built a superconducting qubit that lasts 3️⃣ times longer than today’s best versions.

This is a major step toward practical #quantum computers.

Pharma’s hot zone: A new generation of radiotherapies promises a more targeted attack on cancer. @science.org

Scientists at #RHIC observed a quark-gluon plasma reaching approximately 3.3 trillion degrees Celsius.

That’s about 220,000 times hotter than the core of the sun. ☀️
