enlarge Steven Farrell, Juan Jimenez, and Sanjaya Senanayake stand at the Inner Shell Spectroscopy (ISS) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II. They used X-ray spectroscopy at this beamline to reveal structural and electronic characteristics of molybdenum atoms in a molybdenum disulfide catalyst they developed to convert methane to valuable liquid chemicals.

enlarge This 1.7-gigapixel image of a field of stars in the constellation Lupus showcases the unprecedented view of the Universe that NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory gives us. Equipped with the LSST Camera — the largest digital camera in the world — Rubin combines a wide view of the sky with the ability to detect extremely faint objects.

enlarge Early-career engineers (left to right) Michael McCooey, Alex Fahey, Arshdeep Singh, and Samson Mai played a central role in the first successful real-world test of the Electron-Ion Collider's (EIC) Common Platform-based low-level radiofrequency controls system — a key milestone toward future EIC operations.

Available Workshops Brookhaven National Laboratory invites students in grades 7–12 to join our Summer Science Explorations, a hands-on STEM summer program in New York. Designed for middle school and high school students, this program introduces participants to real-world scientific research in a fun and engaging environment. During the program, students will meet world-class scientists, tour Brookhaven's cutting-edge research facilities, and take part in interactive science activities.

enlarge Kent State University postdoctoral research scientist Ashik Ikbal and Brookhaven Lab physicist Prithwish Tribedy stand in front of the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The two were on a team that tracked the decay "daughters" of J/psi particles created in not-quite-colliding interactions of gold ions at RHIC.
