How do you efficiently store 12,000-pound magnets?

Brookhaven Lab intern and @rittigers.bsky.social student Robert Desjardins helped solve this pivotal question as we transition the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider into the #ElectronIonCollider: https://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=223194

Happy #NationalNanoDay!

Today, 10/9, we celebrate discoveries made at the nanometer scale, or 10⁻⁹ meters.

At #CFNatBrookhaven, researchers explore materials at this ultra-small scale to advance fields like quantum science, energy technologies, and microelectronics.

Baryon number conservation explains why protons, the central building blocks of atomic nuclei, are so stable and don’t decay. #RHIC

What can an internship at Brookhaven Lab lead to?

Through the Community College Internships program, Bryan Aleman contributed to software projects and built skills for his future career. #BrookhavenSciEd

PsiQuantum's software platform “Construct” will support our scientists researching new algorithms and scientific applications for the first generation of fault-tolerant quantum computers. #GenesisMission @psiquantum.bsky.social

Realizing the next generation of nuclear reactors requires in-depth understanding of materials used for nuclear fuel, reactor components, and storage technologies — as well as how the materials’ properties change when exposed to harsh conditions. #NSLSII

This prestigious award recognizes #RHIC’s impactful physics discoveries and scientific explorations of nuclear matter over 25 years — and the wide-ranging capabilities that made this science possible.

High school student Ruochen Xu helped scientists at the National Synchrotron Light Source II create software to accurately assess complex mirror shapes. #NSLSII #BrookhavenSciEd

Something interesting is happening in the densest nuclear matter created at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. #RHIC

Thank you to INFN for visiting Brookhaven Lab and getting a firsthand view of the people, facilities, and technical work driving the #ElectronIonCollider forward.

The EIC will be a global facility, and our collaborators are essential to realizing its potential for discovery.

Jani Penttala's theoretical work is helping scientists make more precise predictions for what they may discover at the future #ElectronIonCollider.

Researchers from the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage have built superconducting qubits that remain coherent for more than one millisecond, a threshold many believed was still years away. #C2QA

Cryostat has left the chat.
#RHIC #ElectronIonCollider

With a career trajectory paralleling the evolution of quantum computing, Charles Black now leads #C2QA, a national research center tackling the scientific challenges standing between today's technologies and practical quantum computers.

New research on meteorites suggests that the chemical foundation for life is deeply woven into the fabric of the universe. #CFNatBrookhaven

We’re developing a next-generation grid foundation model through the U.S. Department of Energy's #GenesisMission.

This #AI system can rapidly simulate scenarios for adding new loads to the electric grid.

Congratulations to the #RHIC Discovery and Innovation Team on receiving a Secretary of Energy Achievement Award, one of the highest honors given to U.S. Department of Energy employees and contractors.
