Meet Adrien Florio, a postdoctoral research associate and fellow in Brookhaven Lab’s Nuclear Theory Group that is contributing his unique perspective and experience to the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage's theory and applications subthrust.

Experts from around the country traveled to Hauppauge, NY, to discuss research in advanced accelerator physics and technology as well as the application and impact of that work. The workshop presented a great opportunity to also spark the interest of students and engage local university faculty. Mark Palmer, of Brookhaven Lab’s Accelerator Test Facility, worked with DOE and the New York City College of Technology to give students an in-depth look at accelerator science through lectures, workshops, and an on-site laboratory tour.

New PNNL research makes it easier to differentiate between chemical and nuclear explosions.

Physicists, engineers, and technicians at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are rounding out the year with key developments to a house-sized particle detector that will begin capturing collision snapshots for the first time next spring.

The Quantum Systems Accelerator, a U.S. Department of Energy National QIS Research Center, dedicates special efforts to quantum education, especially at the high school level, which traditionally has not been regarded as an entry point to QIS. The outreach should help fill the increasing number of job vacancies in this fast-growing and developing field.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory seeks undergraduate and graduate students for a summer 2023 internship in robotics and instrumentation. Students will explore using robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed a novel experimental platform called OpeN-AM to study additively manufactured metal in real time using beams of neutrons. The experimental system features a robotic arm that 3D-prints metal welds to create complex shapes and objects. The entire process is automated by special software that controls the robotic arm and determines to make neutron measurements. Understanding how welds form and behave at the microscopic scale will provide insights into optimizing the technology more mainstream industrial use.
