About the Center for Functional Nanomaterials
The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory
provides state-of-the-art capabilities for the fabrication and study of nanoscale
materials, with an emphasis on atomic-level tailoring to achieve desired properties
and functions. The CFN is a science-based user facility, simultaneously developing
strong scientific programs while offering broad access to its capabilities and collaboration
through an active user program. The overarching scientific theme of the CFN is the
development and understanding of nanoscale materials that address the Nation's challenges
in energy security, consistent with the Department of Energy mission. More...
