Quantum chemistry finds a new path on quantum devices

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

A team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have devised a new quantum algorithm to compute the lowest energies of molecules at specific configurations during chemical reactions, including when their chemical bonds are broken.

SUPER program expands undergraduate research support

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Summer Undergraduate Program for Exceptional Researchers (SUPER), run by the U.S. ATLAS collaboration, wrapped up a successful season with a new focus to broaden the program’s impact. The new initiative paired students from underrepresented minorities and minority serving institutions (MSIs) across the nation with mentors and projects at U.S. ATLAS member institutions.

NSLS-II researchers win 2022 Microscopy Today Innovation Award

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

On Aug. 3, 2022, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory received the 2022 Microscopy Today Innovation Award for their development of a system with bonded x-ray lenses that make nanoscale resolution more accessible than ever before. When the team at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), a DOE Office of Science user facility, tested the new lens system, they achieved a resolution down to approx. 10 nanometers.

Brookhaven Lab, AABE, Con Edison team up on sustainable energy course at Brooklyn's Bedford Academy

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Through a collaboration among the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, educators, the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE), and local energy companies like ConEdison, students at Brooklyn’s Bedford Academy were offered a unique opportunity to participate in a pilot course on sustainable energy and learn about careers within the energy sector.

C2QA wraps up year two of its successful quantum computing summer school program

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Training the next generation of researchers on advanced computing is imperative, but resources for them are limited. That training gap is what inspired the Brookhaven National Laboratory-led Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) to design the QIS101 quantum computing summer school program.

Meet Cliff Brutus: Mechanical engineer, project manager, and life-long learner

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

Jean Clifford (Cliff) Brutus, an engineer at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has a cool job—literally. He’s developing components to keep particle beams circulating in the Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) cool. Learn how he found his way to this innovative engineering career.

Simons Foundation announces new collaboration on confinement and QCD strings

DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Simons Foundation has announced a new research collaboration to explore the “glue” that holds the visible matter of the universe together. This team of theorists will delve into the details of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—the theory that describes the interactions among the most fundamental building blocks of visible matter.
