This message is my last one as CFN Director or, rather, my first as Director of BNL’s Energy Science and Technology Department, which includes the CFN.
Spring is an exciting time that often brings new prospects, and spring at CFN this year is no different! As you know, CFN Director Emilio Mendez is moving into a different position at BNL, and Chuck Black has been named the new CFN Director.
Spring is here, and that means warmer weather is on its way. This time of year is an excellent opportunity to remind our users that shorts and open-toed shoes and sandals are not permitted in the laboratories.
Updates on meetings, workshops, news stories, awards, safety, and new CFN staff.
An international collaboration led by the University of Cambridge and IBM has demonstrated a method to create novel nanowires that contain embedded nanocrystals.
In semiconductor-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, charge carrier separation and delivery largely rely on the depletion region formed at the semiconductor-water interface.
Materials scientist Lihua Zhang oversees two transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) at the CFN: the JEOL JEM-2100F, a workhorse instrument for high-resolution analytical structural characterization, and the Hitachi HD2700C, a dedicated scanning TEM for resolving chemical and electronic information from nanomaterials.
Frances Ross, a materials scientist at IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, studies the mechanism by which atoms spontaneously self-assemble into nanowires—structures that are thousands of times longer than they are wide.
The first thing that comes to mind when one refers to an “alarm” may be a clock that alerts you it is time to get up to go to work. At the CFN, we use alarms as backups to more effective engineering controls that remove hazards from workspaces.
