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...
The Department of Energy requires that all work with nanomaterials be
conducted in a safe and responsible manner that protects workers, the
public, and the environment.
One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily
funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven
National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental
sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also
builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and
government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by
Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University,
the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science
and technology organization.
