Brookhaven National Lab chosen for new particle accelerator facility

Inspiring scientists of the future at Brookhaven National Laboratory's open house

Particle accelerators aren’t just for studying the universe — they're also driving breakthroughs in medicine! Brookhaven is one of three national labs leveraging its accelerator infrastructure to produce actinium-225, a rare medical isotope that shows great promise for treating cancer. This accelerator-produced actinium-225 will be used to treat human patients for the first time ever in a groundbreaking clinical trial beginning this year. #nuclearmedicine #particleaccelerator #science #clinicalt
