This guest post was written by Mona S. Rowe, science writer for Brookhaven National Laboratory's National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) and NSLS-II. The quest to authenticate an unknown Rembrandt painting, titled "Old Man with a Beard," hit a dramatic high at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Using an advanced x-ray detector developed at NSLS, scientists found compelling evidence that the famous Dutch master did indeed have his own h...

share: April 1, 2021 A collaboration led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, partnering with DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory and New York-based manufacturers C4V and Primet, has been awarded $1.7 million dollars in federal funding to conduct a $4.05 million project to scale up the processing technologies for the manufacturing of manganese-nickel-cobalt (MNC)-based cathodes for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).  The partnership was formally developed throu...

share: The following news release was originally issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory. This joint Air Force Research Laboratory – Case Western Reserve University (AFRL-CWRU) program makes use of the X-ray Footprinting of Biological Materials (XFP) beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), as well as other Structural Biology beamlines at NSLS-II. The goal is to understand the structural interactions between candidate biosensors and biological molecules (bio...
