This gorgeous shot of the complexity that is the STAR detector at Brookhaven comes from amateur photographer Enrique Diaz, who won our recent photography competition.
Two months ago, Brookhaven National Lab invited 50 amateur and professional photographers to a three-hour, behind-the-scenes tour of the laboratory. Our cutting-edge experiments explore the fringes of fundamental science and represent singular achievements in design and engineering, and these photographers lent their considerable talent to capturing these marvels and showing off the beauty of science.
We received more than 100 stunning submissions that revealed our facilities through fresh eyes, and we’ll be featuring a few of the Top 10 here throughout the next week.
