The Role of Titanium in Hydrogen Storage
05-09-2005
As part of ongoing research to make hydrogen a mainstream source of clean, renewable energy, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have determined how titanium atoms help hydrogen atoms attach to an aluminum surface. Their study isolates the role of ...
Brookhaven's "Electro Pen" may impact a host of developing nanotechnologies
30-08-2005
At the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, scientists have developed a new chemical "writing" technique that can create lines of "ink" only a few tens of nanometers, or billionths of a meter, in width. "Our new 'writing' method opens up many new possibilities for ...
Brookhaven Lab Holds Site Dedication Ceremony for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials
19-04-2005
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory held a site dedication ceremony for the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN). CFN construction on the Laboratory site is expected to start this year, with research due to begin in 2007. The CFN will provide scientists ...
An Exceptionally Effective Lead-Detection Protein
Results may inspire new treatments for lead poisoning
06-04-2005
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have discovered that a member of a well-known protein family is better at detecting lead than any other known substance. Learning more about the protein's structure and lead-detection ...
Increasing Charge Mobility in Single Molecular Organic Crystals
Studies may help identify best materials for variety of future electronics applications
23-03-2005
Organic materials are particularly attractive for potential applications such as flexible displays, or so-called "electronic paper," because they are inherently flexible. "Imagine a computer screen that you could crumple or fold like a sheet of plastic film," says Vladimir Butko, a scientist ...
Scientists Grow Thermoelectric Cobaltate Thin Films on Silicon
10-03-2005
Thin films made of so-called thermoelectric materials could be used to convert heat directly into electric energy, or vise versa, for a variety of applications, including micro-chip-based chemical and biological sensors and more-efficient ways to cool computer chips. Thermoelectrics also hold ...
Non-Invasive Imaging Tools May Help Unravel Mechanisms of Prenatal Drug Damage
Technique may also help assess, improve effectiveness of pain medication following fetal surgery
08-02-2005
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory demonstrate a new way to assess the potentially damaging effects of prenatal drug exposure -- a technique that could also be used to monitor a fetus's response to therapeutic drugs -- using sophisticated, ...
Heat Response Provides Evidence for High Temperature Superfluidity in Cold 'Fermion' Gas
Duke and University of Chicago researchers found signs that the gas can undergo a phase change leading to a novel state
04-02-2005
A new study has disclosed perhaps the strongest evidence to date for superfluidity in an exotic gas that mimics extreme behavior in Nature -- ranging from high temperature superconductivity to the behavior of fundamental particles in the Big Bang,when the universe is believed to have begun in ...
Brookhaven Lab Scientist Helps Create a New Form of the Element Carbon
19-11-2003
A new phase of the element carbon, a superhard compressed graphite, has been identified by a research team that includes a scientist from the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory. The findings appeared in the October 17, ...
Reverse Reactions Helps Isolate Important Intermediate
12-09-2003
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have used a new way to isolate and study an important intermediate in the epoxidation of olefins such as ethylene: They run the reaction in reverse. By starting with the final products (epoxides) and placing them on ...
