Research Areas

The science at the CFN is organized around three Scientific Themes which are identified below. The nanoscience themes are expected to evolve and change with time. The equipment at the CFN is sorted into seven Laboratory Facility groups.

Initially, the CFN will focus its science and technology research efforts on five scientific themes:

• Electronic Materials
• Interface Science and Catalysis
• Electron Microscopy
• Soft and Biological Materials
• Theory and Computation

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.
