General information

Brookhaven National Laboratory is a science research center. It studies nuclear and high energy physics, energy, the environment, biology, and nanoscience. It runs the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, which smashes particles together for physics research, and the National Synchrotron Light Source II, which uses light to study materials. It also runs a cryo-EM facility that images biological molecules. The lab is based in Upton, New York.

The laboratory was established in 1947. It is owned by the U.S. Department of Energy and managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, a partnership between Stony Brook University and Battelle Memorial Institute. About 2,750 staff work there, plus around 4,000 guest researchers each year. New hires work alongside that large group of outside scientists on physics and biology equipment few labs have.
