Scientists used cryo-electron microscopy at our Laboratory for BioMolecular Structure to reveal part of a transporter protein that helps bacteria maintain zinc levels just right for survival.

This protein may be a useful target for to fight antibiotic-resistant infections.

WHIZ KID ALERT!

A Suffolk kindergartener beat the competition at @BrookhavenLab with a science experiment inspired by his love of trains. The results impressed scientists and local leaders. https://t.co/jLAlmhTPQS

Transitioning #quantum devices from the lab to the real world will require scientific and manufacturing infrastructure capable of developing robust and reliable qubits.

Building silicon-compatible devices marks a milestone toward that goal.

Thank you to our employees who supported the @IslandHarvest Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive. Together, we donated more than 1,000 pounds of food!

Special thanks to our volunteers in the food sorting event. Their work helped prepare donations for distribution across Long Island.

Get ready for a summer of science! The 2026 dates for our open house program have arrived!

From family-friendly STEM activities to guided tours of our one-of-a-kind research facilities, we have something planned for everyone. #ExploreBrookhaven

Our Maglev Competition challenges students to think like engineers and address real-world transportation problems.

Students must design and build small-scale magnetic levitation vehicles that balance speed, stability, cost, and passenger capacity. #BrookhavenSciEd #STEM

Brookhaven Lab physicist Mary Bishai studies particle "flavors."

She started with the whimsically-named “beauty” quark, which is heavier than the quarks in ordinary matter.

Then she turned to neutrinos, the tiny cousins of electrons that have the ability to change flavors.

Take look inside our Accelerator Test Facility (ATF), the Nation's proving ground for future particle accelerators.

ATF provides researchers with high brightness electron beams, near-infrared and long-wave infrared laser beams, and an ultrafast electron diffraction facility.

Our Bridge Building Competition challenges high schoolers to step into the shoes of engineers.

Students design and build bridges out of lightweight basswood, and they watch as their creation either holds up under pressure or snaps.

The removal process is expected to take place over six years, with a work plan designed to enable simultaneous progress on #ElectronIonCollider construction.

It will encompass the removal and/or repurposing of approximately 6,500 major #RHIC components. https://t.co/Sm5rAh2DEj
