Today we honor and thank all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, including the veterans here at Brookhaven.
Thank you to the Brookhaven Veterans Association for hosting their annual Veterans Day ceremony for our community.
ALT A group of uniformed police officers and firefighters stand in a line outdoors, saluting. They are wearing formal hats and gloves. The sky is clear and a tree is visible in the background.

This 124-foot-tall, 300,000-gallon water tank was built for the U.S. Army in 1941, when the Brookhaven Lab site was still the U.S. Army’s Camp Upton. It served our water distribution needs for decades.
And then we demolished it, with a little help from gravity.
A partnership spanning chemistry, engineering, and quantum device design has yielded a millisecond-coherent transmon, proving that smarter materials may hold the key to the next quantum leap. #C2QA bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Nearly a mile underground, installation crews have begun building @dunescience's massive cryostats — giant insulated containers designed to hold liquid argon at an extremely cold temperature. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Congratulations to Brookhaven Lab physicists Lijuan Ruan and Xin Qian on being named 2026 @APSphysics Fellows. 👏 bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
By analyzing more than 700,000 cloud samples from @armnewsteam, scientists found that the journey of water drops — including the air motions and moisture they encounter along the way — plays an important role in determining when clouds produce rain. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Mechanical engineer Jonathan Bellon designed and built this life cycle fixture to test a radiofrequency bridge for the #ElectronIonCollider. The system allows tests to occur in vacuum while providing a view of the internal elements, enabling engineers to detect early failures.
Congratulations to Brookhaven physicist Lijuan Ruan on receiving the Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award, one of the most prestigious science and technology awards bestowed by the U.S. government.👏
The award recognizes Ruan's leadership and ingenuity at #RHIC: bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
This dip in #RHIC data could help scientists find the long-sought "critical point" in nuclear matter phase transitions, a key value for understanding the makeup of the early universe. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
We're partnering with @NY__Creates and @BerkeleyLab to speed up innovation and the manufacture of semiconductor chips.
This program connects the microelectronics industry with world-class instruments and materials-science expertise from #NationalLabs. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
High school student Ruochen Xu helped scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II create software to accurately assess complex mirror shapes. #NSLSII #BrookhavenSciEd bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Realizing the next generation of nuclear reactors requires in-depth understanding of materials used for nuclear fuel, reactor components, and storage technologies — as well as how the materials’ properties change when exposed to harsh conditions. #NSLSII bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Finding particles of interest in air pollution samples can take days.
That's why researchers developed X-AutoMap, software that can make the data collection process at X-ray microscopes more than four times faster. #NSLSII bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
We sat down with @GrinnellCollege professor Kristen Burson for a Q&A on her noble gas nano cage project, student mentorship, and a growing collaboration with Brookhaven Lab through @doescience's Visiting Faculty Program. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…

How small can a collision system get and still create a quark-gluon plasma? Results from oxygen-oxygen smashups at #RHIC have set a new lower boundary. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
Brookhaven physicist Lijuan Ruan has been named a 2026 Fellow of @apsphysics. 👏
The recognition honors her major contributions to #RHIC and her original research on the quark-gluon plasma, the nearly perfect liquid that filled the early universe. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
These 14 organic molecules from the Murchison meteorite were imaged at #CFNatBrookhaven.
They are among thousands of other carbon-based molecules uncovered from the meteorite, suggesting the chemical foundation for life is woven into the universe. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
How do you efficiently store 12,000-pound magnets?
Brookhaven Lab intern and @RITtigers student Robert Desjardins helped solve this pivotal question as we transition the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider into the #ElectronIonCollider: bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
This prestigious @ENERGY award recognizes #RHIC’s impactful physics discoveries and scientific explorations of nuclear matter over 25 years — and the wide-ranging capabilities that made this science possible. bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=…
