Brookhaven Lab Statement on Nuclear Science Advisory Committee 2023 Recommendations for Nuclear Physics Research
DOE/Brookhaven National LaboratoryOn Oct. 4, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and National Science Foundation's (NSF) Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) presented its “Long Range Plan” of recommendations to advance U.S. nuclear physics research over the next decade. We are excited to see that completing the science program at RHIC is included in the Plan’s highest recommendation, and that the “expeditious completion” of the EIC is the Plan’s “highest priority for facility construction.”
Researchers 3D print moon rover wheel prototype with NASA
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryResearchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with NASA, are taking additive manufacturing to the final frontier by 3D printing the same kind of wheel as the design used by NASA for its robotic lunar rover, demonstrating the technology for specialized parts needed for space exploration.
