View ArticleNational Synchrotron Light Source II achieves 'first light'
The brightest synchrotron light source in the world has delivered its first x-ray beams. The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven Lab achieved "first light" on October 23, 2014,...
View ArticleScientists reveal details of calcium 'safety-valve' in cells
(Phys.org) —Sometimes a cell has to die—when it's done with its job or inflicted with injury that could otherwise harm an organism. Conversely, cells that refuse to die when expected can lead to...
View ArticleNSLS-II stores 25 milliamps of current
(Phys.org) —Early on April 29, 2014, the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory stored 25 milliamps (mA) of current at 3...
View ArticleDisorder on the nanoscale may be responsible for solar-cell efficiency
(Phys.org) —In the past few years, perovskite solar cells have made large leaps forward in efficiency, recently achieving energy conversion with up to 16 percent efficiency. These simple and promising...
View ArticlePressure transforms a semiconductor into a new state of matter
(Phys.org) —By applying pressure to a semiconductor, researchers have been able to transform a semiconductor into a "topological insulator" (TI), an intriguing state of matter in which a material's...
View ArticleTime-lapse movies from an infrared microscope
(Phys.org) —Infrared beams produced at facilities like the National Synchrotron Light Source represent the lower-energy part of the emitted light spectrum, yet are still much brighter than other...
View ArticleSmall particles, big findings: Maximizing energy gains from tiny nanoparticles
(Phys.org) —Sometimes big change comes from small beginnings. That's especially true in the research of Anatoly Frenkel, a professor of physics at Yeshiva University, who is working to reinvent the way...
View ArticleNew camera reveals how light breaks molecules apart
Way beyond pure illumination—from bright sunshine to intense x-rays at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS)—light can pack a powerful punch down at the atomic scale. When light strikes organic...
View ArticleField-effect transistors get a boost from ferroelectric films
(Phys.org) —As microelectronics get smaller and smaller, one of the biggest challenges to packing a smartphone or tablet with maximum processing power and memory is the amount of heat generated by the...
View ArticleMastering microbunching for linac-based light sources
(Phys.org) —Designing accelerators requires years of research and development. Throughout the Lab's history, scientists and engineers at Brookhaven have helped lead the way in designing accelerator...
View ArticleBright light, big mirror: Precision X-ray focusing at NSLS-II
(Phys.org) —Why does a packet of electrons whizzing around a half-mile ring at nearly the speed of light need a state-of-the-art mirror? It's not to check its hair, that's for sure.
View ArticleTemperature-dependent radiolysis reveals dynamics of bound protein waters
(Phys.org) —Water is crucial to the functioning of the body, even on very small scales. The ubiquitous liquid is key to the structure, folding and stability of proteins, but one of the still unanswered...
View ArticleMultilayer Laue lenses enable studies of nanostructures with ultra-high...
(Phys.org) —Microscopes have been a centerpiece of experimental science since at least the 16th century, providing a window into the material world at extraordinarily small scales. As the structures...
View ArticleBattery research at NSLS aims to solve energy storage challenges
(Phys.org) —The shrinking size and increasing capacity of batteries in the past few decades has made possible devices that have transformed everyday life. But small isn't the only frontier for battery...
View ArticleA metal switch to control motor proteins
(Phys.org) —Molecular motor proteins inside the body, called kinesins, are a lot like the motor in your car. The molecular motors convert stored chemical energy into specific conformational changes,...
View ArticleFBI snooping tactic ruled unconstitutional (Update)
A US judge has ordered the FBI to stop its "pervasive" use of National Security letters to snoop on phone and email records, ruling Friday that the widespread tactic was unconstitutional.
View ArticleFinal magnet girders installed at NSLS-II
(Phys.org) —In January, the last of 150 magnet girders was installed in the storage ring of the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), capping off a tremendous yearlong effort in which 843...
