Brookhaven National Laboratory

The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) studies nanomaterials and their properties at the nanoscale, serving as a user facility for nanoscience research and addressing energy challenges.

Scientists in Brookhaven's Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science Department study basic, theoretical and applied aspects of materials, their utilization, and their electronic, physical, mechanical, and chemical properties in relation to their structure.

the Energy & Photon Sciences Directorate focuses on scientific challenges in chemistry for sustainable energy, advanced materials, energy storage, energy delivery and efficiency, photon science, and nanoscience.

Brookhaven Lab leverages its expertise in computational science and data management to address challenges in Big Data, supporting large-scale scientific discovery.

Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts basic and applied research in nuclear and high-energy physics, materials science, nanoscience, energy, environmental studies, national security, neurosciences, structural biology, and computational sciences.

The Innovation, Science, and Security Directorate combines expertise in biology, environmental science, microelectronics, quantum information science, accelerator science, detector science, instrumentation, isotope production, artificial intelligence, nuclear science, and national security to advance scientific discovery and technology innovation.

The Guest, User & Visitor Center welcomes researchers from universities, government laboratories, and industry from within the U.S. and abroad who are interested in visiting Brookhaven National Laboratory or performing experiments at one of its scientific user facilities.
