Today, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final year of operations, smashing together the nuclei of gold atoms traveling close to the speed of light.
A technique called resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, or RIXS, is particularly suited for probing samples as thin as one atomic layer and material states that change very rapidly. With recent technological developments, researchers expect this technique to enable studies that were unthinkable only five years ago. This progress gave Mark Dean and three colleagues 鈥� Matteo Mitrano, Steven Johnston, and Young-June Kim 鈥� the impetus to chart where the field is going as a whole. So, they summarized the technique鈥檚 state of the art and how they expect the field to progress in a Perspective paper, recently published in Physical Review X.
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) 鈥� a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE鈥檚 Brookhaven National Laboratory 鈥� is among the world鈥檚 most advanced synchrotron light sources, enabling and supporting science across various disciplines. Advances in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) are transforming how research is done at NSLS-II, streamlining workflows, enhancing productivity, and alleviating workloads for both users and staff.

Kevin Yager, the Electronic Nanomaterials Group leader at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), has articulated an overarching vision for the role of AI in scientific research. It鈥檚 called a science exocortex 鈥� 鈥渆xo鈥� meaning outside and 鈥渃ortex鈥� referencing the information processing layer of the human brain. Rather than simple chatbots and scientific assistants, the conceptualized exocortex will be an extension of a scientist鈥檚 brain. Researchers will interact with it through conversation, without the need for any invasive brain-computer interfaces.
