TODAY at 4 p.m. ET: live Q&A with Brookhaven chemist Amy Marschilok and @stonybrooku PhD student Diana Lutz.

Students and teachers are invited to join us and learn about energy storage and potential career paths. #BrookhavenSciEd #STEMrising

Our scientists have published the first atomic-level model of the SARS-CoV-2 “envelope” protein hijacking a human cell-junction protein.

The model helps explain how #COVID19 could cause extensive lung damage and infect other organs. https://t.co/Y6OxJIRrPo

Physicists at Brookhaven have developed tools to tone down the cosmic “noise" that complicates the search for neutrinos. https://t.co/ZBWBpB2cR5

[ATLAS Experiment @ATLASexperiment]

The ATLAS Collaboration @CERN has just announced the best limit on the #Higgsboson decay to charm quarks to date!

But why is this decay so interesting? And why is it so hard to find? Members of the analysis team explain. #LHCP2021

An international collaboration led by Brookhaven Lab is studying how magnetism behaves over ultrafast timescales.

Their findings could advance data storage and superconductivity. https://t.co/BG5NlAXg4X

[Brookhaven Lab @BrookhavenLab]

Researchers studying the world’s thinnest superconductor have discovered new evidence of unusual electronic behaviors, guiding the development of better superconductors. https://t.co/DZVrxONpA3

[ATLAS Experiment @ATLASexperiment]

Physicists at @CERN's ATLAS Experiment find further evidence of the four-top-quark process!

This is the heaviest particle final state ever seen at the LHC 😯 and provides physicists with a unique opportunity to study the top quark’s relationship to the #Higgsboson.

Inspired by video games, scientists at #NSLSII have taught an AI agent to conduct round-the-clock, fully remote experiments with twice the efficiency that humans can achieve. https://t.co/6WoD7536M9

[Brookhaven Lab @BrookhavenLab]

Scientists have developed a device that can sort information similarly to the human brain. #NSLSII @argonne https://t.co/brKGnGdfgb

[Fermilab @Fermilab]

It’s been a long time coming! The Muon g-2 collaboration will present the results from the experiment’s first run at Fermilab in a special seminar on April 7 at 10am Central. https://t.co/92KZ5oeb1t

This @DUNEScience detector is performing with greater than 99% efficiency, making it the largest and best-performing liquid-argon time projection chamber to date. https://t.co/xdWXeJClTz

[Pacific Northwest National Laboratory @PNNLab]

PNNL scientists report a single-crystal technology that holds promise for next-generation lithium-ion #batteries.

The results appear in the Dec. 11 issue of @ScienceMagazine. https://t.co/ycLlGrAPER

[SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory @SLAClab]

The future is bright! At #LCLS, a team led by @UMich researchers observed how bacteria use a form of vitamin B12 to sense light without cellular damage, offering insight into natural processes that prevent molecular damage caused by sunlight. https://t.co/lrzGc30WTn
