Professors Collaborate on NSF-Funded 'Materials Genome Initiative'
John Parise, a Brookhaven Lab solid-state chemist with a joint appointment at SBU, is the leader of a research team selected to receive an $800,000 Materials Genome Initiative award from the National Science Foundation. The team is using beamline X17 at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) to study photocatalysts and predict phase changes in materials under pressure.

Researchers Debut New Glass Reactor to Study Battery Materials Synthesis
A team of Brookhaven researchers has fabricated a new transparent
chemical reactor vessel that may give scientists in many fields a window into
real-time chemistry. NSLS researchers Haiyan Chen and Jianming Bai helped
to fabricate the novel reactor. As the x-rays pass through the transparent
reaction vessel, they bounce off, or get diffracted by, the atoms in the reactor,
producing a pattern that reveals the atomic structure of the various materials
in the reactor and how they change as the reaction takes place.
Congratulations to Bob Liebermann for 2012 AGU Edward A. Flinn III Award!
