<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
Located on the center of Long Island, New York, Brookhaven Lab brings world-class facilities and expertise to the most exciting and important questions in basic and applied science—from the birth of our universe to the sustainable energy technology of tomorrow.
We operate cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. The Laboratory's almost 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff are joined each year by
more than 4,000 visiting researchers from around the world. Our award-winning history, including seven Nobel Prizes, stretches back to 1947, and we continue to unravel mysteries from the nanoscale to the cosmic scale, and everything in between.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) on Molten Salts in an Extreme Environment (MSEE) was recently funded at Brookhaven National Laboratory
(BNL). Liquid molten salts (MS) are found as solvents of the fuel constituents and/or coolants in nuclear reactor technology. Due to their nature as ionic fluids, MS have structural and dynamical correlations distinct from those of uncharged molecular or
atomic liquids. The scientific mission of MSEE is to provide fundamental atomic-level understanding of bulk and interfacial molten salts. The Center will measure and predict the local and intermediate-range interactions, the structures and dynamics of molten
salts in the bulk and at interfaces. Specifically, the Center will develop and use in situ synchrotron x-ray spectroscopy, scattering and imaging techniques to understand interfacial and corrosion processes in MSEE. X-ray measurements will be integrated
with modeling approaches (i) to provide fundamental new information on surface ordering and dynamics of MS and (ii) to understand and predict non-equilibrium, metastable states formed during the reactions at interfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
