Science writing intern with microelectronics

Caption

Nora Lowe, a summer science writing intern at Brookhaven National Laboratory, holds up a board of microelectronics in the Electronic Detector Group lab in Brookhaven's Physics Department. These electronics were developed for use at frigid temperatures — 87 Kelvin (-303 degrees Fahrenheit) — in detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Lowe wears a grounding band around her wrist to counteract any static electricity that could damage the electronics.
